Front

Simplify: 3 + 5 × 2

Back

13 (First, multiply 5 × 2 = 10, then add 3.)

Front

What is the first step in the Order of Operations?

Back

Perform calculations inside Parentheses.

Front

Simplify: (8 - 3) × 4

Back

20 (First, subtract 8 - 3 = 5, then multiply 5 × 4 = 20.)

Front

What is an exponent?

Back

A number that shows how many times to use the base in a multiplication.

Front

Simplify: 2^3 + 4

Back

12 (2^3 = 8, then 8 + 4 = 12.)

Front

What is the result of 10 ÷ 2 × 5?

Back

25 (Perform division and multiplication from left to right.)

Front

What does it mean to 'double' a number?

Back

To multiply the number by 2.

Front

Simplify: 6 + 2 × (3 + 1)

Back

14 (First, calculate inside the parentheses: 3 + 1 = 4, then 2 × 4 = 8, and finally 6 + 8 = 14.)
