| What will students learn |
Understand the equal priority of addition with subtraction and multiplication with division in written calculations Understand that operations of equal priority can be evaluated in any order Understand that written calculations follow rules of ‘syntax’ determining the order of operations Understand the higher priority of multiplication with division over addition with subtraction in written calculations Interpret the order of operations from written calculations, function machines and worded descriptions Form written calculations, function machines and worded descriptions correctly embedding the order of operations Form and identify equivalent calculations based on distributivity, commutativity and the order of operations
