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!
