Order of Operations ( A math rhyme)



1st Stop
Start with the Order of Ops
Parenthesis first
Lets take it from the top

You know the situation
On 4 basic equations
you see the symbols face it
its thought basic

The exponents is next
A term to a power
That little number in the air
you are multiplying hours

Then you multiply or divide
which ever come first
left to right
so your problem do not get worse

Then add or subtract
the exact same way
Following Order of Ops
this the math strategy you play

Absolute value Signs
may blow your mind
Just take the positive end
Even if it negative at times

Don't give up
just give in
the way math goes
with practice you will eventually win

The instructions are straight
Usually say evaluate
Or maybe simplify
Now its time to educate

    This is quite a take! We can see here that one can make poetry out of almost anything, The trick is to try to do it well, and you certainly did.
    It was a pleasure to have read this marvelous creation. You made poetry out of operations in math and you did it well. Good read!
