PEMDAS: Parentheses, Exponents, Multiplication, Division, Addition, Subtraction — the order to solve expressions.
Which comes first: + or ×?: × comes first (Multiplication before Addition).
Which comes first: ÷ or −?: ÷ comes first (Division before Subtraction).
What do you do when × and ÷ are in the same expression?: Solve left to right — whichever appears first.
3 + 4 × 2 = ?: 11 (multiply 4×2=8 first, then add 3)
(3 + 4) × 2 = ?: 14 (parentheses: 3+4=7, then multiply 7×2=14)
2³ = ?: 8 (2×2×2 = 8)
20 ÷ 4 + 1 = ?: 6 (divide first: 20÷4=5, then add: 5+1=6)
8 - 2 × 3 = ?: 2 (multiply first: 2×3=6, then subtract: 8-6=2)
