Order of Operations

What is the main reason we use Order of Operations in math?

• To challenge students

• To ensure everyone gets the same answer

• To make math more interesting

• To make math problems easier to solve

What is the correct order to solve 2 + 5 × 4 according to the Order of Operations?

• First add 2 + 5, then multiply by 4

• Add 5 to 4, then multiply by 2

• First multiply 5 × 4, then add 2

• Multiply 2 by 5, then add 4

What should you do first according to the Order of Operations?

• Exponents

• Operations in parentheses and brackets

• Multiplication and division

• Addition and subtraction

How do parentheses affect the order in which operations are performed?

• Operations inside parentheses are done first

• Parentheses are used for decoration only

• Operations inside parentheses are done last

• Operations inside parentheses are ignored

In the expression (5 − 3) + (6 × 2), what do you do first?

• Subtract 3 from 5 and multiply 6 by 2

• Add 5 and 6

• Add 5 to 3

• Multiply 6 by 2 and then subtract 3 from 5

What does an exponent tell you?

• How many times to add a number

• How many times to multiply a number

• How many times to divide a number

• How many times to subtract a number

What does the exponent in 4^3 indicate?

• Divide 4 by 3

• Multiply 4 by itself 3 times

• Add 4 three times

• Multiply 4 by 3

What is the result of 3 × 5 − 1 using the Order of Operations?

• 18

• 8

• 16

• 14

If you have both multiplication and division in a problem, how should you solve it?

• Solve multiplication first

• Solve from left to right

• Solve division first

• Solve from right to left

What is the result of 12 ÷ 6 + 5?

• 12

• 2

• 7

• 17
