I still used GEMDAS. The kids have responded well to it.
The bottom half is a page folded into fourths and glued down. This quarter fold page contains GEMDAS and what each letter represents.
My journal pages are a compilation of notes, foldables, and practice problems.

This was new! My student brought this to my attention. He pointed out that parenthesis (P) was a narrow approach and grouping symbols (G) represents so much more. I couldn't agree more. I have struggled with the parenthesis portion of PEMDAS. Students frequently confused it with the distribution step. Someone vaguely mentioned a better approach for order of operations on the Algebra level at a workshop. Any suggestions? Resources?
