BODMAS stands for: 

Brackets Order Division Multiplication Addition Subtraction. 

The BODMAS rule is used when solving mathematical equations, it outlines the order you should complete each step in to get the correct answer.

The rule states that first, you must get rid of any brackets that are in the equations by expanding or solving what is contained in them. 

Order refers to the roots and powers in the equation, they are the element of the equation that you should solve next. Or, if you're studying at a more basic level, Order provides a convenient vowel sound that makes the acronym easily pronounceable. 

Next you should address the Division and Multiplication in the equation. It doesn't really matter whether you divide or multiply first, but it must be done after the BO and before the addition and subtraction. 

Then as a final step, you address the addition and subtraction required by the equation. Once again, it doesn't really matter whether which order you add and subtract in, so long as it is done after all the other steps of BODMAS.

 

Keep in mind that most equations won't require you to use all the steps of BODMAS, for example if an equation doesn't contain brackets, then you skip the first step (B) and move straight on to Order. 

 

Feel free to ask me for further clarification if any of this post doesn't make sense, or if I haven't answered your question sufficiently .

Also welcome to the Shard!

I was taught PEMDAS. 

Parentheses, exponents, multiply, divide, addition, subtraction

I was taught BIDMAS, which is the same thing, with I standing for indices, which means the same thing as order or exponents: raised to the power of and root of. We also called it BODMAS, but I think that's older or something?
