The order of operations is the way we understand and remember how to evaluate expressions involving two or more binary operations.
This convention is used so that everyone can agree about how to write and perform mathematics.
The order is as follows:
There's no standout reason why this should be the order but it is the one everybody uses. Before it becomes natural, this is something you will have to learn by heart.
Consider the expression 6+16\div4.
Which operation should we perform first?
Now, evaluate 6+16\div4.
Consider the expression 4+7\times3.
Which of the following expressions gives the same value as the given expression? Select all that apply.
Consider the expression 4+18-5\times2.
Which of the following is the value of the given expression?
Without changing the order of the numbers and operations, write the expression which would evaluate to 30.
Without changing the order of the numbers and operations, write the expression which would evaluate to 34.
The order of operation is as follows:
