What to Focus On
- An arithmetic expression has a value.
- 13 + 2 = 15.
- Expressions can be compared using =, <, and >.
- Expressions inside brackets are evaluated first.
- Brackets show the correct order of operations.
- Brackets help avoid confusion in complex expressions.
- Terms are separated by + signs only.
- A subtraction must first be rewritten as addition of the inverse.
- 83 - 14 has terms 83 and -14.
Common Mistakes to Avoid
A minus sign always separates terms the same way a plus sign does.
The expression 200 - 43 is the same as 200 - (40 - 3).
Brackets can be ignored because addition and subtraction always work from left to right.
