Unit 1 - Ordering operations

Hello, hello!

Today in Maths we're learning the correct order we need to follow when we're solving an equation. We call this: BODMAS.

Equations follow a very simple rule:

So, when we want to solve an equation with different operations in it, we need to follow the order:

1. Brackets (the calculation inside the brackets comes first)


2. Orders (numbers involving powers or square roots)


3. Divisions


4. Multiplications


5. Additions


6. Subtractions

Let's have some examples from Skillsyouneed:

Let's try to do these together:

Here you also have some games to practice the order of operations:

• 2 players game


• Who wants to be a millionaire?


• Match the columns


• TEST

I hope you find these useful!
