Of course! This worksheet is about the
Order of Operations, specifically focusing on how
brackets (parentheses) work. The key rule here is:
>
Always solve the expression INSIDE the brackets FIRST, then perform the operation outside.
Let’s solve each problem step by step.
---
Section A
---
1. (3 + 4) × 6 =
- First, solve inside the brackets:
`3 + 4 = 7`
- Then multiply:
`7 × 6 = 42`
✔ Answer: 42
---
2. (6 + 1) × 2 =
- Inside brackets: `6 + 1 = 7`
- Multiply: `7 × 2 = 14`
✔ Answer: 14
---
3. (2 + 3) × 4 =
- `2 + 3 = 5`
- `5 × 4 = 20`
✔ Answer: 20
---
4. 6 × (3 + 2) =
- `3 + 2 = 5`
- `6 × 5 = 30`
✔ Answer: 30
---
5. (7 + 2) × 10 =
- `7 + 2 = 9`
- `9 × 10 = 90`
✔ Answer: 90
---
6. 3 × (3 + 4) =
- `3 + 4 = 7`
- `3 × 7 = 21`
✔ Answer: 21
---
7. (5 − 2) × 8 =
- `5 − 2 = 3`
- `3 × 8 = 24`
✔ Answer: 24
---
8. 6 × (7 − 2) =
- `7 − 2 = 5`
- `6 × 5 = 30`
✔ Answer: 30
---
9. 7 × (9 − 3) =
- `9 − 3 = 6`
- `7 × 6 = 42`
✔ Answer: 42
---
10. (6 + 5) × 3 =
- `6 + 5 = 11`
- `11 × 3 = 33`
✔ Answer: 33
---
11. (10 − 3) × 3 =
- `10 − 3 = 7`
- `7 × 3 = 21`
✔ Answer: 21
---
12. 10 × (9 − 4) =
- `9 − 4 = 5`
- `10 × 5 = 50`
✔ Answer: 50
---
13. 6 × (12 − 4) =
- `12 − 4 = 8`
- `6 × 8 = 48`
✔ Answer: 48
---
14. (3 + 4) × 7 =
- `3 + 4 = 7`
- `7 × 7 = 49`
✔ Answer: 49

💡 Key Takeaway:
Brackets tell you to do that part of the math
first, no matter what operation is inside. After solving the bracket, proceed with the rest of the calculation left-to-right (in this case, just multiplication).
This is the foundation of the
Order of Operations (BODMAS/PEMDAS) — Brackets first!
