Nasco The P.E.M.D.A.S. Pizza Party

Grades 4-8. Developed by Jeanette Moore Ritch, M.S. Ed.

This noncompetitive, tiered, and leveled game helps students understand and practice the basic order of operations via the P.E.M.D.A.S. acronym (Parenthesis, Exponents, Multiplication, Division, Addition, Subtraction). Each slice of pizza has an equation written on it for students to solve. Students use the dry-erase markers to solve the equation, then check their answers. Students can also see that the work they produce to arrive at the solution matches the triangular shape of their pizza piece. Slices are divided into three skill levels for differentiation. Includes 3 pizzas with 8 slices each, 5 black dry-erase markers, and instructions.
