Calculation Bracketed Base (Level 1)

This math topic focuses on calculating expressions involving bracketed bases raised to powers (exponents) at an introductory level. It provides practice in evaluating arithmetic operations inside the brackets first and then applying the exponent. Each exercise presents an expression (e.g., (4 + 0)² or (8 - 3)²), and learners must calculate the expression inside the brackets before raising the result to the power indicated, reinforcing their understanding of order of operations and exponentiation.
