Front

What is the Order of Operations?

Back

A set of rules that determines the sequence in which calculations are performed in a mathematical expression.

Front

What does PEMDAS stand for?

Back

Parentheses, Exponents, Multiplication and Division (from left to right), Addition and Subtraction (from left to right).

Front

What is the first step in the Order of Operations?

Back

Perform calculations inside Parentheses.

Front

What is the second step in the Order of Operations?

Back

Calculate Exponents.

Front

What do you do after solving Parentheses and Exponents?

Back

Perform Multiplication and Division from left to right.

What is the last step in the Order of Operations?

Back

Perform Addition and Subtraction from left to right.

Front

Solve: 3 + 5 × 2

Back

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

Front

Solve: (8 + 2) × 3

Back

30 (First add 8 + 2 = 10, then multiply by 3.)

Front

Solve: 10 - 2 × (3 + 1)

Back

6 (First solve inside parentheses: 3 + 1 = 4, then multiply: 2 × 4 = 8, finally subtract: 10 - 8 = 2.)

Front

What is the value of 6 ÷ 2 + 3 × 4?

Back

15 (First divide: 6 ÷ 2 = 3, then multiply: 3 × 4 = 12, finally add: 3 + 12 = 15.)
