What is G.E.M.D.A.S and why
do we need it?
G.E.M.D.A.S. is also know
as the Order of
Operations.

Order of Operations is the

order in which you
perform mathematical
operations to solve an
equation.
 STEPS
1st: Do what is inside of grouping
symbol ( ) or [ ].
2nd: Simplify Exponents.
3rd: Multiply or divide from left to
right.
4th: Add or subtract from left to
right.
GROUPING SYMBOLS
( ) , [ ] or { }
Used to group
equations.
6[100 - (5+3)]
Parenthesis ( ) 6[100 - (8)]
Brackets [ ] or 6 [92]

Used to multiply the

5x2
Choose the proper way to
same number solve the equation:
repeatedly.
2
2 =4
Exponent tells how
many times a base 4x5 = 20
number is multiplied
to itself.

53 = 5x5x5 =125
 ultiplication x
Multiplication is just a
faster way to add.
Choose the proper way to
solve the equation:

2+5x3

5 x 3 = 15
15 + 2 = 17
Answer: 17

12 4+2
Division is
splitting a larger
number into
smaller parts. 12 4 = 3
3+2=5
Remember to
check your
division with Answer: 5
multiplication.
 ddition +
It is tempting to want
to solve addition first
in an equation.
Remember: only (113 + 19) + 81 =?
solve addition first if
it is in parenthesis. 113 + 19 = 132
132 + 81 = 213
 ubtraction -
Subtraction is 74 (12 - 4)
when you take
away an equal 12 4 = 8
or smaller
amount from a 74 8 = 66
number.
You can check
your subtraction Answer: 66
with addition.

 Evaluate the following:
1. 18 + 36 32 =
2. 289 (3 x 5)2 =
3. 45 + 81(5+4) (7-4)2 =
4. 100- (36-6)
(12-7) =
5. 8 + (2 x 5) x 54 5 =
 Evaluate the following:
1. 18 + 36 32 = 45
2. 289 (3 x 5)2 = 64
3. 45 + 81(5+4) (7-4)2 = 126
4. 100- (36-6)
(12-7) = 14
5. 8 + (2 x 5) x 24 5 = 40
