Order of Operations

B - brackets

E - exponents

D - division

M - multiplication

A - addition

S - subtraction

here is how you work with BEDMAS.

1st - check if they're any brackets

2nd - check if they're are any exponents

3rd - check for division

4th - check for multiplication

5th - check for addition

6th - check for subtraction

here's an example

here are the solutions to Fridays homework:

1. Annie has been asked to calculate 1.7 + 6 ÷ 2. She claims the answer is 3.85. Do you agree? Explain why or why not.

No, because the answer is 4.7.

1.7 + 6 ÷ 2 =

1.7 + 3 =

4.7

2. Put brackets in the following expression to get the largest value

possible. What problem solving strategy did you use?

3 x 2.8 + 6.4 ÷ 4 =

brackets: 3 x (2.8 + 6.4 ÷ 4) =

3. Create a problem that could be solved using the following expression.

2.5 + 1.25 + 5 x 1.6 =

Lucy went to the canteen and bought a burger that cost $2.5, a cookie that cost $1.25 and 5 pieces of candy that cost $1.6. How much money would Lucy need to buy her lunch?

My answer:

$2.5 + $1.25 + 5 x $1.6 =

$2.5 + $1.25 + $8 =

$3.75 + $8 =

So Lucy would need $11.75 to pay for her lunch.
