9 - 3 x 2=12

Correct answer is 3. Do x then -, not - then x.

14 - 2 __ 7 = 0 

14 - 2 x 7 = 0

Write the expression - 

double the product of 3 and 4 

2 x (3 x 4)

Why is it important to know Order of Operations (PEMDAS) as a mathematician?

So everyone can solve every problem the same (correct) way.

200

64 = 7 + 1 x 8 

added first instead of multiplying first 

200
7 + (2 x 4) - 1
14
200

Add the missing parenthesis to make it true 

1 x 3 + 4 x 5 = 35

1 x (3 + 4) x 5 = 35

Find the sum seven and the of difference of ten and two 

7 + (10-2)

What is a multiple? 

Bonus what are the first 5 multiples of 7

7 , 14, 21, 28, 35.... 

300

4 x 3 - 2 x 5

12 - 2  x 5

   10  x 5

       50

4 x  3 - 2 x 5

   12 - 10 

       2

300
5 x 3 - 4 x 1 - (8 + 2)

5 x 3 - 4 x 1 - (8 + 2) =1

300

5 _ 14 ÷ 2 × 5 = 40 

5 + 14 ÷ 2 × 5 = 40

300

four times the sum of three and fourty

4 x (3 +40) 

400

70 + 7 x (9 - 3)  x 11 

What should you do first to solve?  why?

What would you do next? Why 

(9-3) in parentheses 


7 x 6  first mult/division from left to right 

400

4 + 5 + 7 - 3 x 2 = 26

You need to follow PEMDAS and do x first. Correct answer is 10.

400
20 – (5+3) x 2 + 4
8
400

Add the parenthesis to make it true 

6 x 1 + 5 - 3 = 8


6 x 1 + (5 - 3) = 8

400

The quotient of six and two, added to 5 minus 2 

(6/2) + (5-2)

I had 2 boxes of  a dozen donuts, I gave Mr. K half and then Ms. Keating took 1 of what was left. 

Write an expression to match the equations 

( 12 x 2 )  divided by 2 - 1 

500

50 - 1 = 7 x 5 + 2

need to put a parenthesis around 5 +2 

49 = 7 x (5+2) 

500
(5 x 4) – 6 ÷ 2 + 9
26
500

(40 + 4) __ 11 + (2 - 1) = 5

(40 + 4) divided by 11 + (2 - 1) = 5
