When an expression has more than one operation, you can't just work left to right. The order of operations tells you the rules: brackets first, then × and ÷ (left to right), then + and − (left to right). Memorise it as **PEMDAS** or **BIDMAS** — both stand for the same idea.
What does this generator do?
Picks an expression with two or three operations — sometimes with parentheses — and asks you for the value. All answers are whole numbers.
How to use it
1) Evaluate anything inside brackets first. 2) Do all multiplications and divisions, going left to right. 3) Do all additions and subtractions, going left to right. Stick to the order even when it looks tempting to do something simpler first.
