Order of Operations - Ordering From Words - Basic Operations (Level 1)

This math topic focuses on understanding the correct order of operations for basic mathematical functions when presented as words, such as adding, subtracting, multiplying, and dividing. It practices the ability to identify which operations to perform first in an equation, testing knowledge of the standard mathematical order convention. Each question provides options to choose from, whether to perform addition, subtraction, multiplication, or division first, also considering the left-to-right rule in equivalent operations. The problems are aimed at reinforcing the foundational rules for handling basic operations in mathematical calculations.
