📚 GEMA Memory Tool

G = GROUPED (Parentheses first!)

Always solve what's in brackets ( ) first

Example: 3 + (2 × 4) = 3 + 8 = 11

E = EXPONENTS (Powers next!)

Solve powers like 2² or 3³

Example: 2 + 3² = 2 + 9 = 11

M = MULTIPLICATIVE (× and ÷)

Multiply and divide from left to right

Example: 12 ÷ 3 × 2 = 4 × 2 = 8

A = ADDITIVE (+ and -)

Add and subtract from left to right

Example: 10 - 3 + 2 = 7 + 2 = 9

✏️ Quick Practice

1. Solve: 5 + 2 × 3
2. Solve: (8 - 3) × 2
3. Solve: 20 ÷ 4 + 3²
4. Challenge: -3 + (2 × 4) - 1

Remember: Show each step clearly!

Tip: Use one equals sign per line to show your working.
