This math topic involves practicing the order of operations, focusing specifically on understanding whether to subtract or divide first in given expressions. The problems require recognizing the correct sequence of mathematical operations according to standard rules—here emphasizing that division should be executed before subtraction. Each problem presents a mathematical expression and asks which operation should be performed first, offering two potential operations for selection. This approach helps solidify the foundational concept of the order of operations in mathematical calculations.
