Order of Operation

This math topic focuses on teaching students the correct sequence of operations to use when solving equations, particularly emphasizing the use of parentheses. Through a series of questions, students learn to decide whether they should use multiplication, division, addition, or subtraction first in different math expressions. The main concept underlined throughout these problems is understanding and applying the order of operations properly, which is fundamental for solving any mathematical equations correctly. The activity helps build a foundational skill in handling complex arithmetic calculations where multiple operations are involved.
