Brackets in Expressions

Mathematics · Multiplication & Division · procedural

Use parentheses, brackets, or braces in numerical expressions and evaluate expressions containing these grouping symbols

What mastery looks like

  • Evaluate 3 × (4 + 5) by computing inside the parentheses first
  • Evaluate {2 × [3 + (7 − 1)]} with nested grouping symbols
  • Insert parentheses into an expression to make it equal a target value

Check your understanding

Can Brackets in Expressions look at '3 × (4 + 5)' and work out the brackets first — getting '3 × 9 = 27' — rather than just multiplying left to right?
