📚 Part 1: Understanding GEMA

Remember GEMA:

Grouped (brackets first) → Exponents (powers) → Multiplicative (× and ÷) → Additive (+ and −)

Instructions: Show your working step by step. Use only ONE equals sign per line.

First, I solve the _____________ operation because _____________

2 × 4 = _____

Next, I solve: 3 + _____ = _____

First, I solve the _____________ (grouped) part because _____________

(5 + 3) = _____

Next, I solve: _____ × 2 = _____

First, I solve the _____________ because _____________

2³ = _____

Next, I solve: _____ + 4 = _____

✏️ Part 2: Guided Practice

Circle the operations you need to do first (Multiplicative operations):

12 ÷ 3 + 2 × 5

Use colours to highlight each GEMA step, then solve:
