MATHS
Mental Maths Marathon: Can You Crack the Code?
Solve these equations using the order of operations (BODMAS):
5 + 3 x 2 = ?
10 ÷ 2 + 4 = ?
6 - 2 x 2 + 1 = ?
(8 + 2) ÷ 5 = ?
3 x 4 - 5 + 2 = ?
Bonus Challenge:
Create your own BODMAS equation and challenge a friend or family member to solve it!
The answers to the Mental Maths Marathon are:
Short Answer | Answer Help |
|---|---|
5 + 3 x 2 = 11 | (Multiplication before addition: 3 x 2 = 6, then 5 + 6 = 11) |
10 ÷ 2 + 4 = 9 | (Division before addition: 10 ÷ 2 = 5, then 5 + 4 = 9) |
6 - 2 x 2 + 1 = 3 | (Multiplication before addition/subtraction: 2 x 2 = 4, then 6 - 4 + 1 = 3) |
(8 + 2) ÷ 5 = 2 | (Brackets first: 8 + 2 = 10, then 10 ÷ 5 = 2) |
3 x 4 - 5 + 2 = 9 | (Multiplication before addition/subtraction: 3 x 4 = 12, then 12 - 5 + 2 = 9) |
