Lesson List


 

Some math problems need you to do more than one operation to find the answer. When you do more than one operation it is called multiple operations.

Remember to always do what is inside parentheses ( ) first.  Look at the examples below.

3 X (10 - 2) = Box.gif (898 bytes)

Do what is inside the parentheses first.

10 - 2 = 8

3 X 8 = 24

 

(11 + 3) - (3 + 2) = Box.gif (898 bytes)

Do what is inside the parentheses first.

11 + 3 = 14 and 3 + 2 = 5

14 - 5 = 9

 

(6 X 2) + (5 X 4) = Box.gif (898 bytes)

Do what is inside the parentheses first.

6 X 2 = 12 and 5 X 4 = 20

12 + 20 = 32

 

(46 - 40) X (5 + 3) = Box.gif (898 bytes)

Do what is inside the parentheses first.

46 - 40 = 6 and 5 + 3 = 8

6 X 8 = 48

 

Practice doing multiple (more than one) operations.
