Outcomes: Understand and describe correct order of mathematical operation rules used to solve a variety of number
sentences.
Describe rules used in sequences
SC:
Understand and apply BIDMAS in order to complete number sentences involving multiple operations
Language Order of operations, BIDMAS, multiplication, division, brackets, indices, powers, subtraction, division,
: number sentence
Tuesday WALT: Use order of operations to solve WALT: Use order of operations to Students who have Students
basic number sentences solve basic number sentences difficulty understanding solutions
mini lesson will be pulled justifying
Who remembers learning about order Students will complete the number aside for additional help processes using
of operations? sentences below showing workings Bidmas rules
If I have a number sentence like so.. and write a sentence underneath Teacher will work
6+3x4 about how they solved through basic number
Ask students to solve this in their EG: Brackets first, then sentences
books multiplication
Ask student to share their answer
Did anyone else get a different (20 5) x 10 =
answer? 6 x (2 + 5) 9 =
Why might we get different answers (100 12 x 3) 4 =
for the same question? 4x8x22=
200 4 5 =
Order I solve in will change my answer (10 7) x 52 x 6 =
there is a correct way! 52 + (7 + 9) 4 =
2
EG: 4 = 4x4
43 = 4x4x4
Brackets
Used to group numbers together
Any operations inside these groups
must be completed first
10 x (4 + 5)
Which part should we complete first?
10x9 = 90
Indices
3x 52
3 x 25
= 75
40 20 = 2
Addition & Subtraction

Bidmas, how do you think it solved the 40 + 30 x 20 10 x 5
equation?
EG: 3x2 + 12 3 Using two pairs of brackets make as
many different answers as you can
6 + 12 3
4+5x862+3
18 3 = 6
Extension
Brackets Choose 4 numbers between 1-12.
(5-3) + (6x2) Make as many different equations
How do I know which to complete first? as you can using these numbers
and solve them
We work from left to right. So long as
we ensure we do what is inside the
brackets before anything not inside
brackets
Indices
2
( 3 x 4) + 6
Where should I begin?
We simplify indices first (to complete
brackets first we need to complete
operations inside it)
(3x3 x 4) + 6
(9 x 4) + 6
36 + 6 = 42
