PEMDAS MUTHADUCKAHS!

#pemdas #muthaduckahs

but honestly. just friggin use it. thank ye kindly!

The criticisms of #BEDMAS are just the surface of them problems with #math classes in elementary/high school. They don't actually teach math, they teach steps and memorization. Students are unprepared to deal with novel problems, because they're taught to memorize, not understand. And this is just the surface of the problems with school in general.

When a #YouTube thumbnail has a simple math equation and says most people get it wrong, I can’t help but feel like I fell for clickbait or something.

What do you mean, many people don’t get the Order of Operations?

I suck so bad at #Math. I hate Math with the burning passion of the heat of a thousand suns, and haven’t gone to school in years….and EVEN I can tell you that 10 ÷ 2 x 5 = 25.

So anyway, I solve the answer in my head and wait for the video to tell me why I’m wrong and why a lot of people get it wrong.

Nope, I was right.

But why is this bugging me so much that I was right? Because I was hoping for there to be some sort of trick or something, like an exception to a rule, that makes it a common mistake.

Turns out that, according to the video, it’s because some people take PEMDAS a little too seriously and think you have to multiply before dividing because M comes before D in PEMDAS.

I’ve never heard of that before, but alrighty then.
