We don’t make a sentence out if it, it’s just the word “BEDMAS”. It’s easy enough to remember, helped me through high school math.

I came to check out the comments hoping that someone would explain Aunt Sally. I’m Canadian too, here we use the mnemonic “BEDMAS”- Brackets Exponents Division Multiplication Addition Subtraction.

Wow. I had really missed the boat on the Aunt Sally one, even after Ian’s explanation. In Canada we use a different acronym (in French & English) because we use “Brackets” in lieu of “Parentheses”.

Please excuse my dear aunt Sally is the order of operations. Perentheses, exponents, multiply, divide, add, subtract. What does that have to do with French?
