Abi na

ok

Quick question! Abeg which 'adult' dey use BODMAS for his or her office today? Last time i heard BODMAS or needed it was in my school exams many years ago........

chai, English yaff dies... you need a refund from your English teacher dude...

He killed it. Not d teacher's fault though some brains just won't werk. Police is coming 4 him

Since I started primary school till date, I have know the "O" to mean OF. So, how do I tell my students that it means ORDER? What will they tell their parents about it? Oya, make una tell me o.

Wow!. Never knew this. News like this still makes me believe Nairaland is still not bad after all, given that it has mostly be taken over by semi insane e-lunatics.

Wow ! Can u imagine our teachers back then taught us wrongly. Thank u OP !

See me see trouble o.... What's the difference... U still even don't understand after you Googled it. Understanding lo matter bros me. There is no difference between of and order.

so what happens to all calculations we got right using 'O' as 'of'?

Op. You are wrong. Teachers are right.

Of is correct....Square root 'of' and Square 'Of'

That's what it is.

Oliviaarims:
That simply means certain calculations must have been wrong in the past.

As in ehn It's very disturbing,

good thing I was taught to use PEMDAS back in school

P-parethesis
E-exponents
M-mutiplication
D-division
A-addition
S-subtraction

....

BODMAS is a helpful acronym meaning brackets, order,
division, multiplication, addition and subtraction, ensuring
that equation steps are completed in the right order. A
mathematical question with multiple operations may give
different answers depending on the order in which it is
solved.
B → B rackets first (parentheses)
O → O f (orders i.e. Powers and Square Roots, Cube Roots, etc.)
DM → D ivision and M ultiplication (start from left to right)
AS → A ddition and S ubtraction (start from left to right)

you can also search for it online if u think I am lying .

Using "Of" doesn't mean you are wrong. "Orders" is what we use now but that doesn't mean "Of" cannot be used.

dis tin nearly caused confusion when I was teaching a particular topic in computer studies,most students av dat notion dat it is of and old mathematics teachers keep on emphasing it as of

BODMAS bawo. We now use PEDMAS that is what is in vogue among mathematicians and programmers in advanced countries
P: Parenthesis, E: Exponents, D: Division, M: Multiplication, A: Addition, S: Subtraction

*.

I teach maths.

Orders are best addressed after brackets, of, division, multiplication, addition and subtraction have been considered.

Thank me later

the ironic part is dat BODMAS is outdated....PEMDAS is the replacement

Wow, this is a nice post

It may be recent invention.

Ur assertion is perfectly in order and inline with what I have known it by:

B E D M A S ---» everyother letter remains as known, but the "E" means Exponential same as Order

I hate Maths

amtalkin:
Can you imagine years after university I'm just knowing this

This generation children will not take this shit na i trust them they google every word they hear.

Lol, u are rite thou

So... our primary school teachers taught us the wrong thing abi... There is God o...#knowledge is power

thanks now i will correctly teach it.

My teacher told me it was "Orders".

PEDMAS, I never knew about that one.

i know the meaning but cant just solve mathematics then

If e like, make the 'O' stand for Obaseki or Okonjo...

Wetin consine goat with chain

So how do you say x^2? "X to the power/order OF".
