Order of operations (age 10+)
Look for and use mathematical structure: exploit the hierarchy of 2-D shapes to deduce properties; use order of operations and algebraic structure to simplify expressions; connect fraction–decimal–percentage equivalences; use ratio structure to solve proportion problems efficiently
Typical age: 10–11 years
“When your child is simplifying an algebraic expression or comparing ratios, do they look for the underlying structure — like using the order of operations or spotting that two ratios are equivalent — to make the calculation more efficient?”
