Four Operations and Order of Operations

Brackets are handled first, then multiplication/division, then addition/subtraction, working left to right within the same level.

Key ideas

  • order of operations
  • brackets
  • multi-step calculations
  • estimation
  • inverse checking

Formula / rule: Brackets → multiplication/division → addition/subtraction.

Worked example: 4 + 3×2 = 10, not 14.

Common trap: Multiplication is completed before addition unless brackets change the order.

Key words

operation — mathematical action
brackets — grouping symbols
inverse — undoing operation
estimate — approximate check
expression — mathematical phrase without an equals sign
How to use this drill: review the short notes when learning, then close them on later attempts and practise from memory. The rotating bank delays a full set repeat for 30 attempts on the same browser.
