Mastering the Order of Operations

This video provides a quick review of the order of operations, a fundamental concept in mathematics. It explains the sequence of operations: parentheses, exponents, multiplication and division (from left to right), and addition and subtraction (from left to right). The video includes two example problems to demonstrate these steps, emphasizing the importance of following the correct order to achieve accurate results. The tutorial concludes with encouragement to practice these skills.

What is the first step in the order of operations?

• Parentheses

• Addition

• Multiplication

• Exponents

When performing multiplication and division, in which direction should you proceed?

• Bottom to top

• Right to left

• Left to right

• Top to bottom

If you have both addition and subtraction in an expression, which one should you perform first?

• Whichever comes last from left to right

• Subtraction

• Addition

• Whichever comes first from left to right

In the expression 5^2, what does the exponent indicate?

• Divide 5 by 2

• Multiply 5 by itself

• Add 5 two times

• Multiply 5 by 2

What is the result of 5^2?

• 15

• 25

• 10

• 20

In the expression 60 + 25 - 8, what is the final result?

• 93

• 77

• 85

• 67

In the second example, what operation should be performed first inside the parentheses?

• Addition

• Subtraction

• Multiplication

• Division

What is the result of 2^3?

• 4

• 8

• 9

• 6

What is the final result of the second example problem?

• 3

• 1

• 2

• 0

What should you do after watching the video tutorial?

• Ask someone else to do the practice

• Take your time and work through the practice

• Quickly skim through the practice

• Ignore the practice
