Card 1Simplification using BODMAS

Simplify: 18 - 4 × 3 + 6

Answer

Step 1: Apply BODMAS — Multiplication first → 4 × 3 = 12<br>Step 2: Replace in expression → 18 - 12 + 6<br>Step 3: Perform subtraction and addition from left to right → (18 - 12) + 6 = 6 + 6 = 12<br>A

Card 2Simplification using BODMAS

Simplify: 30 ÷ 6 + 4 × 2 - 5

Answer

Step 1: Division → 30 ÷ 6 = 5<br>Step 2: Multiplication → 4 × 2 = 8<br>Step 3: Replace → 5 + 8 - 5<br>Step 4: Left to right → (5 + 8) - 5 = 13 - 5 = 8<br>Answer: 8

Card 3Simplification using BODMAS

Simplify: (15 + 5) of 2 ÷ 4

Answer

Step 1: Solve bracket → 15 + 5 = 20<br>Step 2: 'Of' means multiplication → 20 of 2 = 20 × 2 = 40<br>Step 3: Division → 40 ÷ 4 = 10<br>Answer: 10

Card 4Simplification using Brackets

Simplify: 24 - [10 - {6 + (8 - 4)}]

Answer

Step 1: Innermost bracket → (8 - 4) = 4<br>Step 2: Curly bracket → {6 + 4} = 10<br>Step 3: Square bracket → [10 - 10] = 0<br>Step 4: Final → 24 - 0 = 24<br>Answer: 24

Card 5Simplification using Brackets

Simplify: 40 - [18 - {10 + 6 ÷ (2 - 1)}]

Answer

Step 1: (2 - 1) = 1<br>Step 2: 6 ÷ 1 = 6<br>Step 3: {10 + 6} = 16<br>Step 4: [18 - 16] = 2<br>Step 5: 40 - 2 = 38<br>Answer: 38

Card 6Factors

List all factors of 36.

Answer

To find factors, check numbers from 1 to 36 that divide 36 exactly:<br>1 × 36 = 36<br>2 × 18 = 36<br>3 × 12 = 36<br>4 × 9 = 36<br>6 × 6 = 36<br>So, factors are: 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 9, 12, 18, 36

Card 7Prime Numbers

Which of these are prime numbers: 17, 21, 29, 33, 41?

Answer

Prime numbers have only two factors: 1 and itself.<br>• 17 → factors: 1, 17 → Prime<br>• 21 → 1, 3, 7, 21 → Not prime<br>• 29 → 1, 29 → Prime<br>• 33 → 1, 3, 11, 33 → Not prime<br>• 41 → 1, 41 → Prime

Card 8Prime Factors

Find the prime factors of 48.

Answer

Step 1: Divide 48 by smallest prime 2 → 48 ÷ 2 = 24<br>Step 2: 24 ÷ 2 = 12<br>Step 3: 12 ÷ 2 = 6<br>Step 4: 6 ÷ 2 = 3<br>Step 5: 3 ÷ 3 = 1<br>So, 48 = 2 × 2 × 2 × 2 × 3 = 2⁴ × 3<br>Prime factors: 2 an
