43 Order of Operations  ( ) + - X

The Order of Operations tells us how to do a math problem with more than one operation, in the correct order.

Please Excuse My Dear Aunt Sally This will help to you to remember the order of operations.

Please Excuse My Dear Aunt Sally Parentheses ( ) E Exponents 43 M D Multiply x Divide  A S Add + Subtract -

Please Excuse My Dear Aunt Sally Parentheses ( ) Always do parentheses 1st.

Please Excuse My Dear Aunt Sally Exponents 43 Always do Exponents 2nd.

Please Excuse My Dear Aunt Sally Multiply x Divide  Do multiplication and division 3rd, from left to right.

Please Excuse My Dear Aunt Sally Add + Subtract - Do addition and subtraction 4th, from left to right.

Let’s Try Some  Problems!

Parenthesis (-7- 2) + 1 -9 + 1 -8

Parenthesis (1 + 2) x (-4) 3 x (-4) -12

Exponents -2 + 3^2 -2 + 9 7

Exponents 6 – (-1 + 4) ^2 6 – (3)^2 6 – 9 -3

Multiply and divide from left to right 1 + 2 x 4 1 + 8 9

Multiply and divide from left to right 200 ÷ 10 x 2 20 x 2 40

Add and subtract from left to right 1 + 2 – 3x 4 1 + 2 - 12 3 - 12 -9

PEMDAS (3 +2)^2 x 6 -1 (5) ^2 x 6 -1 25 x 6 -1 150 -1 149

Have fun doing the Order of  Operations!
