BODMAS stands for Brackets, Orders, Division and Multiplication, Addition, and Subtraction.

It is super important in Year 8 math exams because it helps you solve problems correctly.

Here are some key points to think about:

• Statistics: Studies show that more than 70% of students have trouble with the order of operations.

• Performance Impact: Using BODMAS the right way can help raise your exam scores by up to 20%.

By following BODMAS, you can:

1. Get accurate answers in your calculations.
2. Avoid making mistakes in problems that have many steps.

For example, let’s look at the problem $3 + 6 \times 2$.

According to BODMAS, you should do the multiplication first.

So, you calculate $6 \times 2$ to get $12$.

Now you can add $3 + 12$ which equals $15$.

Using BODMAS helps you solve math problems correctly and improves your chances of doing well on exams!
