The original order of operations in most countries was BODMAS, which stands for Brackets, Orders or pOwers, Division, Multiplication, Addition, Subtraction. The O is sometimes associated with Of. This mnemonic was common until exponentials were added into the mnemonic. 3 Likes 1 Share |

I was taught it meant "of" and that gave me very good results anytime I applied it. Come to think of it, "order or power" would have been much more confusing. So I thank my Primary 6 teacher Mr. Idemudia for making it easy for me 29 Likes 3 Shares |

Op pls where does 'order' comes in, for this question: 1/2 of (2/3 + 1/3) |
Re: The "O" In BODMAS Doesn't Stand For Of by fr3do(m): 6:54pm On Jul 12, 2016 |
Akious2k2: mba, that 'of' is nothing other than another way of saying multiply 103 is 10 in the order of 3, or 10 raised to the power 3, which is 10*10*10 |

fr3do:But way back, u have a fraction dat actually has "Of". Does dat mean there's not suppose 2 b "Of" in it? As per d power/Exponent, we may even have 2 do dat b/4 d bracket, in case we have it inside d bracket |

A list, I teach maths in school... If 'o' does not mean of probably X, why does it work with the calculation? Order of operations is the topic why bodmas is subtopic under maths... why is it then that through out the world of maths textbook have seen o stand for of? lastly, brother are u saying the educational board in Nigeria are ignorance of this yet no one come out to prove this? where is your source? For me, order might be of o, but still OF or Orders still stands for multiplication. bros, any number in power or orders will still be calculated with X...MULTIPLICATION... YOU NEVER CONVINCE ME WITH THIS 2 Likes |

xtophy:No sir, they aren't. It is actually applicable to both Order and Of. Try explaining what Order means to a primary school pupil. |

Akious2k2: 4 is half of 8, 1/2 of 8=4 'of' is used most times with fractions, it sounds better to say half of 8 rather than half times 8. doing the bracket first actually starts with simplifying what is inside the bracket, if it an order, it will be simplified. Brethren, step aside all doubts and receive the gospel. |
