Grouping Symbols Poster

The other twenty-four hours I laid upward out to simulate my order of operations posters because I simply experience similar they are lacking something.  Plus, the fact that the one m is non the same size every bit the other letters has been bugging me for years.  When I made them, I told myself it wouldn't matter.  But, it's all I tin retrieve most when I await at these posters.

Instead, I got side tracked in addition to ended upward creating a poster most grouping symbols.  My students almost e'er encounter the "P" inwards "PEMDAS" in addition to retrieve that they convey to produce parentheses in addition to exclusively parentheses first.  This includes doing parentheses that genuinely hateful multiplication.  I've been emphasizing that "P" genuinely stands for "Grouping Symbols" the by duad of years in addition to it seems to last helping.  Of course, I convey to tell them that their 3rd aeroplane instructor did convey the best of intentions.  The exclusively grouping symbol that would last showing upward inwards their 3rd aeroplane math problems were parentheses.

Instead of simply telling students most grouping symbols, I've decided I ask to plough over students a resources to await at to banking enterprise check in addition to encounter if at that spot are whatever grouping symbols inwards their problem.  Over the years, my classroom decor has tardily been shifting from an emphasis on cute in addition to motivational to an emphasis on math.  At least, that's my goal.  I nevertheless desire my room to last "cute," but I too desire my students to encounter a plethora of resources when they walk inwards my room.

That's why they'll honor a horizontal lay out line, a vertical lay out employment (coming soon), the prime numbers nether 100, the order of operations, a set of math symbols, the greek alphabet, the pregnant of naught within a fraction, place value, perfect squares (coming soon), in addition to perfect cubes (coming soon).

Back to grouping symbols.  Here's what I came upward with:

I e'er tell my students that at that spot are invisible parentheses within a radical sign in addition to some the numerator in addition to denominator inwards a fraction.  To present that these are normally invisible, I used simply the outline of the parentheses some them.  

I too couldn't immature lady the chance to part the fact that the employment betwixt a fraction is called a "vinculum" alongside my students.  I in all probability part this fun fact alongside each aeroplane at to the lowest degree 10 times a year.  

As for {braces}, I genuinely telephone telephone them squiggly brackets inwards my classroom.  But, Wikipedia says they are too known every bit braces, in addition to that definitely fits on the poster better.  If you lot telephone telephone them something different, I've uploaded an editable version of the poster for you.  :)  

I've designed this poster to impress on xi x 17 newspaper because I convey a humongous packet of xi x 17 carte du jour stock inwards my classroom.  (FYI: Amazon currently has 11 x 17 carte du jour stock on sale for $9.99 for 250 sheets at the moment.  This is an affiliate link.  Proceeds assist to buy schoolhouse supplies for my classroom in addition to pay to host the gratis downloads on this blog.)   

Sadly, I haven't printed it or laminated it yet because the printer at my novel schoolhouse is non playing overnice alongside carte du jour stock.  I tried to impress my Greek Alphabet posters yesterday, in addition to I ended upward alongside a pile of posters that looked similar this:

This printer is identical to the printer at my former school, in addition to then I'm non certain what the upshot is.  So, until I figure this fiddling upshot out, no printing posters for me.  :(
