QUICK GUIDE

What is PEMDAS?

PEMDAS is a rule that helps students solve math expressions in the correct order. Follow the steps below from left to right before finding the final answer.

1 P
Parentheses

Solve everything inside parentheses first.

→
2 E
Exponents

Evaluate powers such as 4² or 3³.

→
3 MD
Multiplication & Division

Multiply and divide from left to right.

→
4 AS
Addition & Subtraction

Add and subtract from left to right.

💡

Remember: multiplication and division have the same priority, so work from left to right. Addition and subtraction also have the same priority and are solved from left to right.

STEP-BY-STEP EXAMPLE
3² + 2 × (10 − 4)
1
Parentheses 10 − 4 = 6
↓
2
Exponents 3² = 9
↓
3
Multiplication 2 × 6 = 12
↓
4
Addition 9 + 12 = 21
Final Answer 21

In this interactive order of operations game, students first identify which operation should be completed first, second, third, and fourth. Then they solve the expression one step at a time while each completed step stays visible. This makes it easier to see how the original expression changes until the final answer is reached.
