Comment on SBA #119 maths
Dialectical_Specialist@quokk.au 4 days agoI’m still not getting your side of all of this. Are you basically saying that the order of operations should be reduced to two rules:
- Multiplication is stronger than Addition. (When they fight, Multiplication wins).
- Grouping Symbols override everything. (Parentheses/Brackets/Fractions are the “bosses” that force you to do things out of order).
Or are you saying we don’t need order of operations at all?

I’m saying it’s not needed at all.
It’s good for teaching kids quickly, but it isn’t math.
