Heard of BIDMAS? Your child can learn about the order of operations with this activity. There is some
information before they begin, then two sets of questions for them to try. In one set, they’ll be following
the order of operations to complete the calculations. In the other set, they’ll be adding brackets to make
the answer correct.
What skills does this practise? Further Activity Ideas and Suggestions

Order of Operations There are lots more activities to help your child practise using
the four operations at the Parents Hub. They can explore using
Addition and Subtraction brackets with this activity or develop their understanding of
square and cube numbers with this activity - both important
Multiplication and Division skills to master the order of operations.

Order of BIDMAS or BODMAS are both acronyms used to help
us remember the order of operations. This is a rule that

Operations tells us the correct sequence of steps when approaching


a maths calculation.

B brackets () Complete anything in brackets first.

Next, apply any orders of - like indices or


I or O indices or order x² √
square roots.

D division ÷ Now, complete any divisions.

M multiplication x Then, complete any multiplications.

A addition + Now, complete any additions.

S subtraction - Finally, complete any subtractions.
