What to Focus On

  • BODMAS defines the order of operations.
  • Brackets are solved in the order: Bar, Parentheses, Curly, Square.
  • ‘Of’ means multiplication.

  • Even numbers end in 0, 2, 4, 6, or 8.
  • Odd numbers end in 1, 3, 5, 7, or 9.
  • Every natural number is either even or odd.

  • Factors divide a number completely.
  • 1 and the number itself are always factors.
  • Prime factors are factors that are prime numbers.

Common Mistakes to Avoid

BODMAS means you do all multiplication before division and all addition before subtraction.

0 is an even number, but students think it's neither even nor odd.

1 is a prime number.
