About Arithmetic and Order of Operations

GoConqr Original

What the resources cover

The unit brings together the core of everyday calculation. The Operations of Integers mind map sets out addition, subtraction, multiplication and division, with the rules for same and different signs. Other maps cover percentages, decimals and negative numbers, so you can see how each idea links to the next.

Quizzes turn those ideas into practice. Two-Step Word Problems asks about cookies baked in trays and shared into bags. Non-Calculator Maths Quiz works through money left in a wallet after shopping. Solving Money Word Problems L1 covers savings and book sales.

Where to start

If order of operations is new, begin with the BODMAS/BIDMAS Warm up maths quiz. It checks what the letters stand for and reminds you that brackets come first. Then look at the flashcard deck Order of operations and the flowchart called Order of Operations to see the steps laid out in sequence.

If negative numbers are the sticking point, try the mind map Math (Negative Numbers). It explains counting from zero, right for positives and left for negatives. Follow it with the slide set Maths Negative Numbers and Order of Operations.

Using quizzes and maps together

  1. Read a mind map first to get the main rules in view.
  2. Take a short quiz without looking at the map.
  3. Note which questions went wrong and go back to that branch of the map.
  4. Use flashcards to fix the facts you missed, then try another quiz.

The DECIMALS FOR SCHOOL mind map pairs well with the fraction, decimal and percentage quizzes, because it covers place value and lining up the decimal point.

Exam-style practice

Some decks and quizzes are aimed at tests. You will find GMAT Quant questions, a GRE deck, the ASVAB (AFQT) Arithmetic Reasoning Test and a GCSE Maths quiz. These suit older students who want timed-style arithmetic. Younger learners will find more help in the grade-level quizzes and mental maths tests.

Where it fits

This unit sits in the Number strand of Mathematics. It is a good base to return to whenever calculations feel shaky. Choose one resource today, work through it, and see what you would like to revisit.

Frequently asked questions

Which resource should I start with?

For order of operations, try the BODMAS/BIDMAS Warm up maths quiz, then the Order of operations flashcards. If you are working with positive and negative numbers, the Operations of Integers mind map is a clear first stop. Both routes lead naturally into the word problem quizzes.

What do the mind maps cover?

They cover integers, negative numbers, decimals, percentages, fractions, exponents and BODMAS. Operations of Integers sets out the sign rules for each operation, while DECIMALS FOR SCHOOL covers place value and the steps for adding, subtracting, multiplying and dividing decimals.

Are the resources free to use?

Yes. Every resource on this page is free to open, study and take, with no account needed. They were made by GoConqr users, not by GoConqr itself. A free account also saves your quiz scores and lets you make your own quizzes, mind maps, flashcards and notes.

Which exams do the resources mention?

The listed resources mention GCSE Maths, GRE, GMAT, SAT, ACT Aspire and ASVAB. You will find decks such as GMAT Quant questions and quizzes such as the ASVAB (AFQT) Arithmetic Reasoning Test. Check each resource first, since the community wrote them.

Is there anything for younger learners?

Yes. Many resources suit primary pupils and early secondary students, including Basic Multiplication and Division, Mental maths test 1 and Grade 4 ASSET. Flashcards such as Adding +9 to sums of 20 give short, repeatable practice with simple sums.

What if I cannot find the topic I need?

Browse the notes, slide sets and flowcharts as well as the quizzes, since a topic may appear in a different format. Factors and Multiples and Scientific Notation Rules are examples. You can also build your own mind map or flashcards for the gap.
