LEARNING
OUTCOMES Write expressions using the
order of operations.
How many bags of potato chips were Can you show what happens
placed in each box? to these bags of chips?
6 friends got one each
(15 - 6) ÷ 3
total number of shared with number of
remaining bags are bags of chips friends boxes
in the 3 boxes
