Honestly as a kid, hearing "of" didn't sound right. It just didn't flow. I reasoned that it's only few times you'd actually hear the word of and that's when the maths question is in sentence format. When maths is written in equations, "of" made no sense. But then the "adults are right" mentality over wrote that. I'm so glad I've learnt this now They really ought to give us an apology. |

Whether "of" or not,it was applied back in the days and it never failed us. We got the concept. |

I don't think they lied to us. I knew the 'O' to represent 'Power Of'. So, I don't think they were wrong. As you know, PEMDAS = BODMAS. I trust you also know that 'M' and 'D' can interchange, thereby, their order has no effect on the answer. Also note that P = Parenthesis, E = Exponents, M= Multiplication, D = Division, A = Addition and S = Subtraction. Bracket, power Of, Division, Multiplication, Addition, Subtraction ie BODMAS 1 Like |
