Order of Operations (Parenthesis) @worldofworksheetswow8570

The order of operations is the rule that tells us the order to solve different parts of a math problem. The common way to remember it is by using PEMDAS:

1. Parentheses: Do any calculations inside parentheses first.
2. Exponents: Solve exponents (like $2^3$ or $5^2$) next.
3. Multiplication and Division: Do these from left to right. They're on the same level, so go in the order they appear.
4. Addition and Subtraction: Lastly, do any addition and subtraction from left to right, just like multiplication and division.

So, if you see a problem like this:

$5 + (3 \times 2)^2$

You would:

1. Solve inside the parentheses: $3 \times 2 = 6$
2. Then solve the exponent: $6^2 = 36$
3. Finally, do the addition: $5 + 36 = 41$

The answer is 41!
