BODMAS is introduced in Year 5 to help students understand the order of operations in mathematics, ensuring accurate calculations in algebra and beyond. This foundational knowledge is crucial for their progression in more advanced mathematical concepts.
BODMAS rule ensures accuracy in calculations, laying the groundwork for advanced mathematical studies.
Tutero emphasises BODMAS (Brackets, Orders (i.e., powers and square roots, etc.), Division and Multiplication, Addition and Subtraction) as a foundational principle in mathematical calculations. This method helps students maintain clarity and accuracy when simplifying complex expressions, ensuring consistency and correctness in mathematical operations.
This lesson plan for BODMAS (Brackets, Orders, Division/Multiplication, Addition/Subtraction) features enabling prompts to help students understand and apply this fundamental mathematical order of operations, complemented by extending prompts for those who are ready to solve more intricate calculations.

Order of Operations
Initially introduced to the concept of order in calculations, students learn specific rules such as BODMAS/BIDMAS to solve arithmetic problems correctly. By Year 5, they handle complex calculations involving multiple operations and parentheses, ensuring accurate problem solving in mathematical tasks.
Practice with BODMAS
After learning the basic rules of order of operations, students practice increasingly complex problems that require careful application of BODMAS/BIDMAS. They engage in exercises that challenge their understanding and application of the rule, solidifying their skills by Year 5.
Solving Complex Arithmetic Problems
Students begin with basic arithmetic and gradually face more complex problems that integrate multiple steps and operations. They learn to apply logical reasoning and problem-solving strategies to tackle these challenges. By Year 5, they confidently solve complex arithmetic problems, preparing them for algebra and higher mathematics.
