Order of Operations!

B - Brackets
E - Exponents
D - Division
M - Multiplication
A - Addition
S - Subtraction

1. First, check if you have see any missing brackets in the question.
2. Then you go to the exponents and check you see any missing exponents in the question.
3. Then you go to division or multiplication and you have to start left, then right and also, you division first, then you divide, then you think is multiplication first and you multiply it!
4. Then you to addition or subtraction and you have to start left, then right and also, you addition first, then you add, then if you think is subtraction first and then you subtract it!

e.g.

6 - ( 5 - 3) + 10
\ /
+ 6 - 2 + 10
\ /
+ 4 + 10
\ /
= 14

Hey Randolph, nice scribe post. I think you should try putting an image and changing the color, also you forgot to put on our homework. :)

Hi Randolph.Nice job!. I think your post can improve if your words had color and if the letters were bigger,also I think you should read your post before you publish it. I think that you should put a game or a picture on. Here is a website that you should try http://cemc2.math.uwaterloo.ca/mathfrog/english/kidz/order.shtml
