Parentheses
•The first step of the order of operations is
parentheses.
Ex. (3 x 6) = 18
Ex. (3 x 6) + 2 = 20

18 + 2 = 20
Exponents
•The second step of the order of operations is
exponents.
Ex. (3 + 2)2 = 25

52 = 25
Ex. 3 + (3 + 2)2 = 28

3 + 25 = 28
Multiplication
•The third step of the order of operations is
multiplication.
Ex. 6 x 4 = 24
Ex. (3-2)2 x 4 = 4

1x4=4
Division
•The fourth step of the order of operations is
division.
Ex. 8 ÷ 2 = 4
Ex. 8 ÷ 2 + (3 x 6) = 22

4 + 18 = 22
Addition
•The fifth step of the order of operations is
addition.
Ex. 3 + 6 = 9
Ex. 3 + 4 ÷ 2 = 4

3+2=4
Subtraction
•The last step of the order of operations is
subtraction.
Ex. 16 – 4 = 12
Ex. 18 – (2 + 2)2 = 2

18 - 16 = 2
