1Evaluate the numerical expression: (12 + 8) ÷ 4
2Evaluate the expression: 3 × [4 + (8 - 2)]
3What is the value of 50 - [2 × (5 + 3)]?
4Which numerical expression represents 'add 7 and 9, then multiply by 3'?
5Which expression represents 'subtract 4 from 20, then divide by 2'?
6Evaluate the expression: [15 + (9 - 3)] ÷ 3
7Evaluate: 4 × [(18 - 6) ÷ 3]
8Without calculating the exact value, how does the expression 6 × (14,250 + 825) compare to (14,250 + 825)?
9Rule A starts at 3 and adds 3 (3, 6, 9, 12, ...). Rule B starts at 6 and adds 6 (6, 12, 18, 24, ...). What is the relationship between the corresponding terms of Rule B and Rule A?
10Sequence X starts at 0 and adds 4: (0, 4, 8, 12, 16). Sequence Y starts at 0 and adds 8: (0, 8, 16, 24, 32). What ordered pair (X, Y) represents the 3rd corresponding non-zero terms?
