Why get the bundle
- Cards, games and a poster show the same rule from different angles, which helps it stay when the problems get longer.
The problem
8 + 4 x 4 is 24, not 48
Reading left to right is the habit children bring to every page. With mixed operations it leads to the wrong answer.
Adding first
In 8 + 4 x 4, adding first gives 12 x 4 = 48. Multiplying 4 x 4 first gives 16, and 8 + 16 = 24.
Left to right feels right
Children read a sentence from left to right, so they solve it that way. The rule is different for math.
Subtraction after multiplication
In 3 x 2 - 5, multiply first to get 6, then subtract 5. Children who go left to right may try 2 - 5.
Each item has a wrong choice that comes from going left to right, so the slip shows. A poster keeps the order in view.
What’s inside
30 questions, one per slide.
Students type straight into the box — no printing, no cutting.

Questions
Before you buy.
Are parentheses included?
The set builds the basic idea: multiplication and division before addition and subtraction.
Is there a poster?
Yes. The poster lists which operation to do first.
How do I get the file?
The download link appears right after checkout and lands in your inbox at the same time. One PowerPoint file you can open in Google Slides.
Can I share it with my class?
Yes — one teacher can use it with their own students, this year and next. Sharing the file with other teachers needs a separate license.
Do I need Google Slides?
No. The file is a PowerPoint (.pptx). It opens in PowerPoint, and in Google Slides once you upload it to Google Drive.
