Order of Operations Example - Add, Subtract (Level 1)

This math topic focuses on the introductory principles of the order of operations, specifically emphasizing the correct sequence to perform addition and subtraction in various numeric expressions. The problems ask students to identify whether to add or subtract first in given mathematical equations, helping build a foundational understanding of operational precedence without the involvement of multiplication or division. This is ideal for nurturing early arithmetic skills in applying the order of operations to ensure accurate computation outcomes in expressions featuring only addition and subtraction.
