This learning resource focuses on simplifying series of operations on whole numbers, utilizing the PMDAS (Parentheses, Multiplication, Division, Addition, Subtraction) or GMDAS (Grouping Symbols, Multiplication, Division, Addition, Subtraction) rule. It includes examples to explain how to perform operations in the correct order with parentheses, brackets, exponents, multiplication, division, addition, and subtraction. This reinforces a systematic approach to solving complex numerical expressions. It also integrates financial literacy themes like responsible spending and saving.
