Order of Operations

Front

What does the Order of Operations tell us?

Back

The Order of Operations is a set of rules that determines the sequence in which calculations are performed in a mathematical expression.

Front

What is the acronym used to remember the Order of Operations?

Back

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

Front

What is the first step in solving the expression: 5 + (3 x 2)?

Back

Parentheses: Calculate the expression inside the parentheses first.

Front

In the expression 8 - 2 + 4, which operation do you perform first?

Back

Subtraction and addition are performed from left to right.

Front

What does the P in PEMDAS stand for?

Back

Parentheses.

Front

What does the E in PEMDAS stand for?

Back

Exponents.

Front

In the expression 6 + 2 x 3, what is the correct order of operations?

Back

First, perform multiplication (2 x 3 = 6), then addition (6 + 6 = 12).

Front

True or False? In the expression 4 + 5 x 2, you add before you multiply.

Back

False. You multiply before you add.

Front

What is the result of the expression: 10 - 2 + 3 x 4?

Back

First, calculate 3 x 4 = 12, then 10 - 2 + 12 = 20.

Front

What is the second step in solving the expression: (2 + 3) x 4?

Back

After calculating the parentheses (2 + 3 = 5), the second step is multiplication (5 x 4 = 20).
