Describe the order of operations and explain how it is used to simplify expressions. Explain specifically the order in which mathematical operations must be performed to correctly simplify an expression.
Provide an example of a real life situation where a specific order of steps is necessary for a proper end result. What will happen if the proper order is not followed? (Humor and creativity are encouraged.)
Develop an original mathematical expression which must be simplified using order of operations. Include addition, subtraction, multiplication, division, an exponent, and at least one set of parentheses. Simplify the expression incorrectly, showing each step as you simplify. You do not have to include the reasons for each step.
