Daily Math Sprint: Order of Operations (PEMDAS)
Consistency beats intensity. Use this drill to sharpen your mental math workflow.
The PEMDAS/BODMAS Protocol #
Always process operations in this hierarchy. If you hit two operations of equal rank (like Multiply/Divide or Add/Subtract), you must work from left to right.
1.
Parentheses / Brackets
2.
Exponents
3.
Multiplication & Division (Ranked equally)
4.
Addition & Subtraction (Ranked equally)
Teacher's Tip: The most common mistake is adding before subtracting just because 'A' comes before 'S' in the acronym. Don't fall for it—go left to right!
3-Minute Sprint #
Clear your desk, grab a pencil, and start the timer. Do not use a calculator. Aim for 100% accuracy before you worry about the clock.
