B-E-D-M-A-S

B- Brackets ( )
E- Exponents
D- Division
( in order from left to right)
M- Multiplication
A- Addition
( in order from left to right)
S- Subtraction

Squared means multiply by its self.


On the bottom is an example of how the order of operations go.











These are the 3 questions:

/ = divide or division
* = multiply or multiplication

1. Annie has been asked to calculate 1.7+6/2=___
She claims that the answer is 3.85 . Do you agree?
I do not agree. Annie did 1.7+6 first when she was supposed to divide 2 from 6. The answer is 4.7.

2.Put brackets in the following expression to get the largest answer possible.
3*2.8+6.4/4=_____

3*2.8+(6.4/4)=10


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

2.5+1.25+5*1.6=


Solve the expression above.
