This week, Year 6 have been putting their calculation skills to the test by learning what BODMAS means and how it can help them to solve tricky calculations.
BODMAS is one of the most important tools children learn in mathematics, setting the foundation for tackling complex problems with ease. The acronym stands for Brackets, Orders (powers and roots), Division, Multiplication, Addition, and Subtraction. By following this order, children can break down and solve equations step by step.
After learning the rules of BODMAS, children then had to work collaboratively with a partner to 'crack the code' by solving a range of BODMAS questions.
