62 − 8 × 4 + 3 − (18 ÷ 9): parentheses, then × and ÷ left to right, then + and − left to right.
The worked example
The lesson works this one step by step: 62 − 8 × 4 + 3 − (18 ÷ 9). Then your kid tries one like it on paper.
The steps
- Parentheses first
- × and ÷, left to right
- + and −, left to right
Helping at home
Work one operation at a time, on a new line. Parentheses first. Then multiply and divide, left to right. Then add and subtract, left to right.
If your kid gets stuck
Parentheses, then × and ÷, then + and −.
Watch it with Lux
