Road Map #1: Computation with Integers

A. Addition and Subtraction __________
Algebra is the study of replacing numbers with variables and exploring their
relationships. Before that, however, we need to review how integers operate.
We will start with addition and subtraction, paying careful attention to what
happens when we have negatives.
Problem 1: Evaluate: 6 + 7 15

Problem 2: Evaluate: 5 + 8 4

Problem 3: Evaluate: 2 (3) 9

B. Multiplication and Division__________

Whenever we have both multiplication and division in the same problem as addition
and

subtraction,

according

to

order

of

operations,

__________________________ first before continuing on.

Problem 4: Evaluate: 6 + 3(8)

Problem 5: Evaluate: 9 5 x 2 + 4

Problem 6: Evaluate: 4 x 8 + 8 4

Problem 7: Evaluate: 2 12 (3)

we

will

do

C. Exponents__________
Exponents come before any multiplication, division, addition, or subtraction.
Problem 8: Evaluate: 2 x 32 4

Problem 9: Evaluate: (6) 42 (8)

Problem 10: Evaluate: (2)3 23

D. Parentheses__________
Finally, before exponents, multiplication, division, addition, or subtraction, we must
do any operations inside parentheses.
The mnemonic device for remembering the order is ____________________. This can
be summarized as follows:
a) Do everything inside ____________________ first.
b) Then evaluate all ____________________.
c) Next, do all ____________________ and ____________________, from left to right.
d) Finally, do all ____________________ and ____________________, from left to right.
Problem 11: Evaluate: 2(7 3) 6(3)

Problem 12: Evaluate: (2 + 3)2 4(8 6)

Problem 13: Evaluate: (1 + 2)(3 + 4) 5(6 7)

Problem 14: Evaluate: 2 2[2 2(2)] + (2)2

Problem 15: Evaluate: 2(3 5)3 4(1 32) 2(5 6)

Power Practice #1

1. 4 7
10. (2 5)2 + (5 2)2
2. 4 (7)

3. 4 (7)

4. 4 + (7)

11. 4 4(4 + 4) 4(4)

5. 2(5 7) 9

6. 32 + 42 52

12. 2(24 3) 3(4 1)2

7. (2)(3 4) 5

13. [2 3(4)]2 5(6 + 7)

8. 1 + 2 x 3 + 4 x 5 + 6

9. (5 + 4) x 3 (2 + 1)
14. (12 + 4) (12 x 4) (12 4)

18. (1 2 + 3 4 + 5 6 + 7 8)3
15. 1(1) + 2(2) 3(3) + 4(4)

16. 6 2[4 + 2(3)]3 +(2)2 5

17. (5 + 6) (5 6) x (4 + 5 x 6) 2

19. 12 11(10 9) + 8(7 6) x 5(4 +

3) (2 1)

20. (2 + 3)(32 + 1)2 x [2 2(1 (2))]

+ 2(23 1)
