Order of operations
Order of operations helps children practise applying the rule that multiplication and division are done before addition and subtraction. Read the short guide and look through the examples before choosing online practice or a printable worksheet.
How to solve this
- Multiplication and division must be calculated before addition and subtraction — "dot before dash" (Punkt vor Strich).
- Work through the expression left to right, but always complete all × and ÷ before any + or −.
- Check by working the expression in a different written order with brackets to confirm the same result.
