LionDeLeo:this should explain Friedyokes: |
Re: Our Maths Teachers Must Apologise To Us by Friedyokes: 12:43am On May 09, 2017 |
LionDeLeo:you are saying 'of' means multiplication they taught 'of' to mean nothing |
Re: Our Maths Teachers Must Apologise To Us by LionDeLeo: 12:45am On May 09, 2017 |
Friedyokes: My point is that the use of "of" rather than "order", is not incorrect. It can be defended. I'm not trying to hold brief for the ignorance or knowledge of teachers. |
Re: Our Maths Teachers Must Apologise To Us by LionDeLeo: 12:48am On May 09, 2017 |
Friedyokes: As I have stated, my point is not to argue if they explained it or not. What I'm saying is that the use of "of" in bodmas is not out of place. Agreed, they may not know the exact meaning. |
Re: Our Maths Teachers Must Apologise To Us by Friedyokes: 12:48am On May 09, 2017 |
LionDeLeo:the picture is saying the 'OF' as we were taught and as we understand is not what is ...if we were told 'OF' as u said means square root multiplication and powers ...do u think anyone wouldve disputed it |
Re: Our Maths Teachers Must Apologise To Us by Friedyokes: 12:50am On May 09, 2017 |
LionDeLeo:okay then Ur one of the few people who have given me an intelligent argument and that's cool |
Re: Our Maths Teachers Must Apologise To Us by LionDeLeo: 12:51am On May 09, 2017 |
Friedyokes: You are still not getting my point. My point is that, "of" in that acronym is not out of place, regardless of whichever way it was explained. |
Re: Our Maths Teachers Must Apologise To Us by LionDeLeo: 12:53am On May 09, 2017 |
Friedyokes: Thanks bro. Infact, you held me throughout the night, it's almost daybreak here. Different time zone. Cheers. 1 Like |

LionDeLeo: Na lie. Some arithmetical problems require that you add before subtracting. Or that you solve the ones in bracket before moving on to the next. I repeat it's not just a memory aid. |
Re: Our Maths Teachers Must Apologise To Us by pass111(m): 7:33am On May 09, 2017 |
LionDeLeo: with all due respect, I think your logic is flawed.. how do you translate 4½(four to the power of ½) |
Re: Our Maths Teachers Must Apologise To Us by ameer2: 8:51am On May 09, 2017 |
LionDeLeo: Gee..ah tek God beg u,beta lock up n stop disgracing yosef... Are u trying to say 4 × 2 + 1= 8 + 1 =9 (taking multiplication first) & 4 × 2 + 1= 5 × 2 = 10 (taking addition first) Is dsame SMH |
Re: Our Maths Teachers Must Apologise To Us by Mightyraw(m): 10:03am On May 09, 2017 |
phililp:Order? What to do first, Are u serious atal |
Re: Our Maths Teachers Must Apologise To Us by Mightyraw(m): 10:07am On May 09, 2017 |
pass111:He is right, Dats what order means, I guess you know 4^1/2 is the square root of 4, Thats the order of 1/2 Lets not argue blindly you don't have to be a genius to know that |
Re: Our Maths Teachers Must Apologise To Us by Mightyraw(m): 10:23am On May 09, 2017 |
LionDeLeo:I don't know if u are serious with that But 2*2-2 won't give u same answer |
Re: Our Maths Teachers Must Apologise To Us by LionDeLeo: 12:46pm On May 09, 2017 |
Mightyraw: 8×3-12÷2+(3+4)-3+7. Bodmas says this should be solved in this order; bracket, of (order), division, multiplication, addition and subtraction. My own solution, starting from the left; 8×3= 24 (multiplication) -12÷2=-6 (division) 3+4=7 (bracket) -3+7=4 (addition) Now, 24-6+(7)+4 Finally, 24-6+7+4=29 I did not comply with BODMAS. Now, apply BODMAS to prove me wrong. |
Re: Our Maths Teachers Must Apologise To Us by Mightyraw(m): 1:24pm On May 09, 2017 |
LionDeLeo:Lol, why say - 2÷12 U don't have to manipulate to prove a point |
Re: Our Maths Teachers Must Apologise To Us by LionDeLeo: 1:35pm On May 09, 2017 |
Mightyraw: Where is the manipulation? I hope you understands numbers. Moreover, where did you see -2÷12? Not as if it is wrong if there is the need. If you have a calculator, type -12÷2, and tell me if it wouldn't provide you with appropriate results. Once again, as I have earlier stated in this thread, BODMAS is an aid to to memory for primary school children, not a formula. And once you have the basic understanding of numbers, knowledge of BODMAS is not of any use. B4 I go, note, 5-3 is same as -3+5 3-5×2 is same as 3+ (-5×2) and so on. |

Re: Our Maths Teachers Must Apologise To Us by Mightyraw(m): 4:17pm On May 09, 2017 |
LionDeLeo:These ain't new to no one I guess u know, If not for BODMAS u cud av done that has (3-5) *2 |
Re: Our Maths Teachers Must Apologise To Us by LionDeLeo: 4:26pm On May 09, 2017 |
Mightyraw: Get my argument clearly. I'm not undermining BODMAS. My argument is that, it is AN AID TO MEMORY, not a formula. The second aspect of my argument is that a simple mathematical expression can be simplified without necessarily complying with the order provided by BODMAS as I have demonstrated in that little analysis. I may decide to solve multiplication before division while subtraction may still be resolved ahead of addition. Also, bracket may even come last if I want, as long as I comply with the basic principles of number manipulation. I have demonstrated all these with examples, what else do you want? |
Re: Our Maths Teachers Must Apologise To Us by cornelin(m): 4:40pm On May 09, 2017 |
LionDeLeo and Friedyokes should come and shake hands in the spirit of sportsmanship. It is very clear that once you understands how number works you don't need to follow BODMAS. Both of you gave very intelligent and logical defence. All these other Efiko wannabes is clear that they are yet to understand the primary basics of numbers 2 Likes 2 Shares |

cornelin: Thank you bro. God bless. I'm happy that someone is out there who understands my argument. |

pass111:which question |
Re: Our Maths Teachers Must Apologise To Us by CONFAMA: 12:50pm On May 10, 2017 |
Friedyokes: X raised to the power "of" y Square root "of" x Now that is the kind of "of" I was taught in primary school and it's correct |

centK: X raised to the power "of" y Square root "of" x Now that is the kind of "of" I was taught in primary school and it's correct The most suited word is exponentiation |

LionDeLeo: I assume this is an educational section so no offense... I want to point Out that BODMAS/BOMDAS/PEDMAS Are thesame, it doesn't matter if M happens b4 D... we talking simple arithmetic, and yes bodmas is an important rule.. |
Re: Our Maths Teachers Must Apologise To Us by Nobody: 2:16pm On Nov 12, 2017 |
cornelin: Even he does follow bodmas... Understanding maths is understanding bodmas... Its not like you need to put it to memory or something... when you know your numbers , you just know them .... we call that knowledge of operations...BODMAS |
