PEMDAS

In the spirit of continued prep for our state test, we worked on math today. We had this equation:  
                                 .25 (1/2 divided by 1/8)
                                     ______________ (divided again)
                                               2

Being the skilled mathematician that I am, I began to explain how to solve this equation.
The students had forgotten the age-old, PleaseExcuseMyDearAuntSally classic and so I reminded them:

Parenthesis
Exponent
Mutiplication
Division
Addition
Subtraction

Dead-serious response from one kid: Well, I'm not EXCUSING anyone...I'll punch them in the face!

Minus the aggression, a well-placed comment :)
