In the Real World

We have seen how the order of operations is important in math.  In the video from Brain Pop, you saw that the order of operations is also important in baking.  This example is helpful for demonstrating, in an accessible way, how the order in which you do things makes a difference for the final outcome.

Imagine you are trying to explain why the order of operations is important in math to a student in another class that doesn't understand, and hasn't seen this helpful example.  In your journal, write about another real world example in which the order of the steps makes a difference.  Try not to use baking as your example.  Explain how, in math, order matters, too.
