Pre-Algebra Help for Teachers: Problems & Solutions

In summary: ODMAS stands for Curly Brackets, BODMAS stands for Brackets, O stands for Orders, D stands for Division, M stands for Multiplication, A stands for Addition, S stands for SubtractionIn summary, a teacher is seeking help with teaching their students algebra and fractions. They are looking for resources and directions on how to review these topics with their students, and provide a few website links for free worksheets on PEMDAS (order of operations) and fractions. They also mention the importance of teaching students the BODMAS rule for order of operations.

Here's a few links. I googled "Free PEMDAS Worksheets".

First Link. You can refresh this page and get randomly generated new sheets, supposedly.

http://www.math-drills.com/orderofoperations.shtml. Not so many sheets, but this site has fractions (scroll all the way to the bottom).

You get the idea.

Please teach yourself what the mnemonic stands for before confusing anyone else.

BODMAS the O stands for Orders, which I find confusing, BEDMAS is better with E standing for Exponents or Exponentiation
