Standards:
5.OA .A.1 Operations and Algebraic Thinking
Write and interpret numerical expressions.
1. Use parentheses, brackets, or braces in numerical expressions, and evaluate expressions with these
symbols.
5.OA.A.2 Operations and Algebraic Thinking
Write simple expressions that record calculations with numbers, and interpret numerical expressions without
evaluating them. For example, express the calculation add 8 and 7, then multiply by 2 as 2 (8 + 7).
Recognize that 3 (18932 + 921) is three times as large as 18932 + 921, without having to calculate the
indicated sum or product.
Subject(s) of the lesson:
Prerequisite Knowledge:
Math-Order of Operations Review This is the students third lesson about the about the Order of Operations
and how to apply it to an equation. The students will apply what they
learned in guided practice into their independent practice by answering
various questions in the form of a review game.
Students have background knowledge of multi-digit addition, subtraction,
multiplication and division. However not all students are 100% fluent with
their basic multiplication facts.
Content
This is a review game for the students to practice and show their comprehension of the Order of Operations
and the rules/steps that must be applied when solving an equation.
Lesson Objective
Students will be able to apply what they have learned throughout the instruction and practice of the Order of
Operations by participating in an independent style Jeopardy review game.

How will you teach the content?

T will load the PEMDAS Jeopardy PowerPoint game.
T will tell students that they will be playing Jeopardy to review and see if more instruction related to the
Order of Operations is needed.
T will pass out and explain that each student will have an answer page that will be handed in at the end of
the game. Each student is a team of one and will keep track of his or her own points.
T will go over the rules for Jeopardy.
o Each person gets to pick a question.
o Every student needs to try to find an answer.
o You add points to your score if you are correct, and subtract if you are wrong.
Students will be allowed to ask any questions they have before the game begins.
Beginning with one student, the teacher will ask what question they would like.
The T will read the question.
The student will be given a certain amount of time (depending upon the difficulty of the question) to
answer the question.
The student will write their answer on their answer page and read it to the teacher.
The teacher will reveal the answer and go over the question as necessary.
The teacher will return to the question board.
Another student will select the question of their choice.
This pattern will repeat until all questions are answered.
S will hand in their answer sheets. This will allow the teacher to see who is still struggling and if further
whole-class instruction is needed.
Additional materials you will use and how will you use them.

Evaluation Strategies
The primary purpose of this game will be review before a major assessment and or will provide the teacher
with data regarding the students ability to grasp the concept of the Order of Operations. Each student will be
handing in their answer sheet. These answer sheets will allow the teacher to know whether further wholeclass instruction is necessary, if small-group instruction is needed for a few students or if the class as a whole
is ready for the assessment.
