Powdered donuts were at the center of our math lesson today, as we learned to solve equations using the Order of Operations rule. I don't have an "Aunt Sally" so that mnemonic device never made much sense to me, so I taught my students a new one with a twist on one from Mrs. Trudy Louden. To remember PEMDAS (parentheses, exponents, multiplication, division, addition, and subtraction) we learned "Panthers Eagerly Munch Donuts At School". And we munched eagerly while we worked!
