The Order of Operations BEDMAS

The Order of Operations BEDMAS B E DM AS

The Order of Operations BEDMAS B- Do operations in brackets first. E DM AS

The Order of Operations BEDMAS B- Do operations in brackets first. E- Evaluate exponents next. DM AS

The Order of Operations BEDMAS B- Do operations in brackets first. E- Evaluate exponents next. DM- Do dividing and multiplying in the order they appear. AS

The Order of Operations BEDMAS B- Do operations in brackets first. E- Evaluate exponents next. DM- Do dividing and multiplying in the order they appear. AS- Do adding and subtracting in the order they appear.

The Order of Operations BEDMAS Ex) 5 x 6 – 4 ÷ 2 = 30 – 2 = 28

The Order of Operations BEDMAS Ex) 4 x 12 ÷ 3 x 2 – (9 + 4) = 4 x 12 ÷ 3 x 2 – 13 = 48 ÷ 3 x 2 – 13 = 16 x 2 – 13 = 32 – 13 = 19

The Order of Operations BEDMAS Ex) ( – 2 3 ) 2

The Order of Operations BEDMAS Ex) ( – 2 3 ) 2 = (4 + 3x3 – 2x2x2) 2

The Order of Operations BEDMAS Ex) ( – 2 3 ) 2 = (4 + 3x3 – 2x2x2) 2 = (4 + 9 – 8) 2

The Order of Operations BEDMAS Ex) ( – 2 3 ) 2 = (4 + 3x3 – 2x2x2) 2 = (4 + 9 – 8) 2 = 5 2

The Order of Operations BEDMAS Ex) ( – 2 3 ) 2 = (4 + 3x3 – 2x2x2) 2 = (4 + 9 – 8) 2 = 5 2 = 25
