There certainly are practice papers floating around where it is left to right rather than Bodmas


Doesn't make them correct though!!!

(Again this is just my opinion)

I'm sure someone will be able to express the answer better than me, but here goes

+ 1 x 2 = 2 - so it must be answer a, b or c

N/4 x 2 = N/2 - so answer c

Just out of interest does that make my answer wrong? I don't know BODMAS (before my time?) and just worked it out :?


It is the same just written out differently. (Sorry I hope I didn't imply that your answer was wrong)

This is a great test of understanding of the number operations.

Just tried it on D2 - and she made same mistake I would have made -(although knowing answer in advance made it somewhat easier for me!).

She chose e), forgetting that the whole sum was times 2 so you need to add 2 not 1 to the final answer.

Hard - I wonder how many would get it right?
