Order of Operations Priority - Add, Subtract with Exponents (Level 1)

This math topic focuses on the order of operations with an emphasis on how to correctly handle addition, subtraction, and exponents. The problems present different equations where students must determine the priority of operations, reinforcing the correct sequence to solve mathematical expressions involving exponents alongside basic arithmetic operations. Each question requires identifying whether operations like exponents, addition, or subtraction should take precedence to arrive at the correct solution. This set of questions is designed to deepen understanding of fundamental arithmetic rules and the hierarchical application of operations.
