What is the Order?

Learn what order we should use to solve multi-step computation problems as well as ways to help remember the steps. We’ll work through an order of operations problem that has all the parts to it throughout this series. 

Step 1 Parentheses

Parentheses are the first part solved in an order of operations problem. We’ll also look at dealing with multiple sets of parentheses. 

Step 2 Exponents

Exponents are the second part solved in an order of operations problem. We’ll also look at how to evaluate and exponent. 

Step 3 Division & Multiplication

Multiplication and Division are the third part solved in an order of operations problem. We’ll see why multiplication doesn’t really come before division. 

Step 4 Addition & Subtraction

Addition and subtraction are the fourth part solved in an order of operations problem. We’ll see why addition doesn’t really come before subtraction. 

Order of Operations - Work it Out!

Let’s put it altogether. See our big problem worked out all at once. We’ll also do some shorter sample problems and touch on negatives and fractions in order of operations.
