BODMAS and PEMDAS Rule
Concerning the BODMAS rule, we have to calculate the expressions given in the brackets first. The full form of BODMAS is Brackets, Orders, Division, Multiplication, Addition and Subtraction. Hence, the second preference in BODMAS is given here to the orders or exponents (xn). Later we perform the arithmetic operations (÷, ×, +, -). We will solve examples based on this rule in the below sections.

An arithmetic expression that involves multiple operations such as addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division are not easy to solve as compared to operations involving two numbers. An operation on two numbers is easy, but how to solve an expression with brackets and multiple operations and how to simplify a bracket? Let’s recollect the BODMAS rule and learn about the simplification of brackets.
What is BODMAS RULE?
BODMAS is an acronym and it stands for Bracket, Order, Division, Multiplication,...
The maths conundrum
Top Stories Tamfitronics Commentarymarinasb2 Hrs Ago - THE alarming headline in this newspaper on August 21 announced “64% fail maths” in CSEC exams, across the region. According to the Caribbean Examinations Council, only six per cent of Caribbean children passed five subjects or more at CSEC level, and fewer than one in 20 pupils got five passes that included both English and maths.
