Order of Operations Example - All Basic Operators

Level 1

This math topic focuses on practicing the order of operations with basic arithmetic operations: addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division. It explores which mathematical operation should be performed first in various equations to understand and apply the proper sequence of operations. Each question presents a different equation where the learner must decide the correct initial operation, such as determining whether to multiply before adding or to divide before subtracting, reinforcing the foundational PEMDAS/BODMAS rules.
