BODMAS and order of operations - KS2 Numeracy - Year 5 and 6 - Algebra

Numeracy lesson for Upper Key Stage 2 pupils. This mathematics lesson is mainly aimed at pupils in year 5 and 6.
This lesson would be part of preparing pupils to cover more in depth algebra skills. It builds on understanding that all equations should be solved in a defined order of operations. BODMAS. Brackets, Orders/Indices (squaring, cubing etc.), Division, Multiplication, Addition, Subtraction.

Lessons are differentiated, and build the children’s understanding through multiple tasks.

L.O: To allow for the correct order of calculation in multi-operation equations.
Achieve – I can recall the order of operations from BODMAS/BIDMAS.
Challenge - I can apply BODMAS/BIDMAS to correctly solve multi-operation equations.
Aspire – I can explain the order of operation that must have occurred to arrive at a given answer.
