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.
