Lessons
3 concepts
  1. 1
    Order of Operations
    Follow BODMAS strictly. 6+2×3=6+6=126 + 2\times 3 = 6 + 6 = 12, not 2424. Multiplication comes before addition.
  2. 2
    Brackets
    Solve innermost brackets first, then work outward. 2×[3+(4−1)]=2×[3+3]=122\times [3 + (4-1)] = 2\times [3+3] = 12.
  3. 3
    Common Mistakes
    Forgetting BODMAS. Distributing signs incorrectly across brackets. Always double-check with substitution.
