Learning Objective

I can solve math problems with multiple operations using the order of operations (PEMDAS).

  • 1

    The order of operations tells you which math operations to do first to get the correct answer.

  • 2

    The order of operations is: parentheses, exponents, multiplication and division, and addition and subtraction.

  • 3

    When there is a mix of multiplication and division (or addition and subtraction), you work from left to right.
