Order of operations wheel of fortune game - math game for 1st, 2nd, 3rd, 4th, 5th, 6th grades. "Operations" means things like add, subtract, multiply, divide, squaring, bracketss etc. If it is not a number, it is probably an operation then. Order of operation is an arrangement followed in calculating a mathematical problem.
When you see something like this:
7 + (6 × 52 + 3)
What part should you calculate first?
Start at the left and go to the right?
Or go from right to left?
So long ago, people agreed to follow the rules when doing calculations, and they are:
Order of Operations
Do things in Parentheses First
|
|
4 × (5 + 3) |
= |
4 × 8 |
= |
32 |
|
|
|
4 × (5 + 3) |
= |
20 + 3 |
= |
23 |
(wrong) |
P |
Parentheses first |
E |
Exponents (i.e., Powers and Square Roots, etc.) |
MD |
Multiplication and Division (left-to-right) |
AS |
Addition and Subtraction (left-to-right) |
Or
BODMAS
B – BRACKET
O – ORDER (Powers, Square roots, etc.)
DM – DIVISIONand MULTIPLICATION
AS – ADDITION and SUBTRACTION
Divide and Multiply them equally (and go left to right).
Add and Subtract them equally (and go left to right)
Work on Exponents (Powers, Roots) before proceeding to Multiply, Divide, Add or Subtract.
