Order of Operations Priority - All Basic Operators (Level 1)

This math topic focuses on practicing the order of operations with basic operators such as division, multiplication, addition, and subtraction. Each problem presents an equation and asks learners to determine the correct priority of operations to solve it accurately. Multiple choice answers are provided, reflecting common misconceptions about operation priority, such as treating all operations with the same priority or misidentifying which operations have higher precedence. This promotes understanding of the correct application of the order of operations rules.
