BIDMAS, BODMAS, PEMDAS – however you remember it, it’s all about the correct order of carrying out calculations. Put yourself to the test in this GCSE Maths quiz! Want a recap? Take a look at our detailed BODMAS, BIDMAS and PEMDAS blog.

Maths isn’t as easy as reading a book – we can’t just do a calculation from left to right. Some operations have a higher priority than others, and so we need to know the correct order to do them in. BIDMAS doesn’t just apply to number problems, it crops up in algebra problems too, but you will be expected to know it without being told. It’s a good idea to write down each stage of working, showing what has changed and what’s stayed the same. This will help you keep the numbers in the correct place.
