Students learn how to break down a calculation using the order of operations.
Later, as learning progresses, they use brackets to make a calculation true when given its solution.
Differentiated Learning Objectives
- All students should be able to use the order of operations to evaluate calculations in the form a + b x c
- Most students should be able to insert brackets into a calculation to evaluate it.
- Some students should be able to make a calculation true by organising its operations, including brackets.
