The second slide lists the basic operations verbs: add, subtract, multiply, and divide. The third slide shows which two operations (multiplication and division) are the first to complete, as they are done from left to right. This is done through a specific problem.
The fourth slide shows which other two operations (addition and subtraction) are the first to complete, as they are done from left to right. This is done through another problem.
The fifth slide explains what to do when the two previous levels are mixed. And then comes a couple of examples.
The next slide explains the use of brackets which are followed by a couple of slides with an example in each
