Order of Operations Introduction - Subtract vs Multiply (Level 1)

This math topic focuses on introducing the order of operations, specifically prioritizing multiplication before subtraction. Students are given multiple problems where they need to determine whether multiplication or subtraction should be performed first according to the correct sequence of operations. Each question is structured with an equation and two visual answer choices, labeled 'a' and 'b,' highlighting different steps in the operation sequence. This allows students to practice and ensure they understand the correct order of operations in various mathematical expressions.
