My 5th grader has just learned the phrase "Parachute Expert: My Dear Aunt Sally" in her math class. This sentence is used to teach the order of operations: parentheses, exponents, multiplication, division, addition and subtraction. For some reason, she finds the sentence to be so entertaining and keeps talking about her "Dear Aunt Sally", but changing the first part to different phrases such as: poaching eggs, praising excitedly, paper eater... too funny! Dear Aunt Sally is welcome to stay right now as she is making math class fun! When learning is fun...the day is good!
Peace,
