01 July 2025 Use of four operations and brackets LO: To correctly use the rules to perform operations. www.mathssupport.org
In Mathematics, the order in which the calculations are carried out is also important To do it correctly we follow these rules: 1 BRACKETS BRACKETS Perform the operations between 2 ORDER ORDER EXPONENTS EXPONENTS INDICES INDICES Calculate anything involving DIVIDE or MULTIPLY DIVIDE or MULTIPLY 3 Starting from the left in the order that they come in the order that they come ADD or SUBTRACT 4 Starting again from the left in the order that they come B You can remember the order of operations by recalling: O I E D MAS www.mathssupport.org
Example 1 BODMAS Circle the operation that you do first D S 23 10 2 2 = = 23 5 5 = = 18 18 www.mathssupport.org
Example 2 BODMAS D Circle the operation that you do first A + + + + M 2 3 4 2 = 2 3 3 = = 2 = = 8 4 2 2 2 = 6 www.mathssupport.org
Example 3 BODMAS D Circle the operation that you do first A + + + + M 2 3 4 2 = 2 12 12 = = 2 = = 8 4 2 2 2 = 6 www.mathssupport.org
Example 4 BODMAS M Circle the operation that you do first M S 3 8 6 5 = = 24 = = 6 6 5 30 30 www.mathssupport.org
Example 5 BODMAS B ( 4 + 2) ( 4 + 2) ( ( 4 + 2) 4 + 2) Circle the operation that you do first M 3 S 2 3 6 6 = 2 = 6 = 0 6 www.mathssupport.org
Example 6 BODMAS O What operation we will do first? A B B S There are two brackets [12 ( 3)] 42 + 9 9 9 3) ( ( [12 + 3] 42 12 12 [ [ + + 3] 3] 15 15 3) We start with the inner brackets We now solve the outer brackets 42 16 1 42 We now solve order We now subtract www.mathssupport.org
Example 7 BODMAS Put brackets to make the calculation true 5 + 1 4 = 24 5 + 1 4 5 + 4 5 + 1 4 = 24 ( ( ) ) 6 4 = 24 24 24 www.mathssupport.org
Example 8 BODMAS Put brackets to make the calculation true 24 6 - 2 = 6 24 6 - 2 4 - 2 24 6 - 2 = 6 ( ( 24 4 = 6 6 6 ) ) www.mathssupport.org
Example 9 We start by solving the numerator A + 5 18 (6 + 3) (6 + 3) BODMAS What operation we will do first? B + 3) B +( ( 2 2) ) 18 ( ( 16 ( 7) (6 D Now we solve the denominator What operation we will do first? 5 5 7) 7) 16 = 9 14 = 2 = 7 www.mathssupport.org
