Reflection- BEDMAS

Today I learned what B.E.D.M.A.S. means. It means Brackets, Exponents, Division, Multiplication, Addition and lastly Subtraction. It can also be B.O.D.M.A.S. It means Brackets, Of or Order, Division, Multiplication, Addition and then Subtraction.

Because of this learning I can now use it for Maths and not get too much wrong. But I will have to memorise it.

Something I don't understand is that if it is B.O.D.M.A.S. then there will be two Multiplications because Of can mean Multiply.

The next step in my learning is to use B.E.D.M.A.S. and B.O.D.M.A.S. more.
