Answer: 81
- Brackets: 2 − 2 = 0
- Index: 92 = 81
- Multiply: 5 × 0 = 0
- 81 + 0 = 81
4.7 × 8 − 5 × 5
Answer: 31
- 7 × 8 = 56 and 5 × 5 = 25

- 196 ÷ 14 = 14
6.52 + 9 × (2 − 4)
Answer: 7
- Brackets: 2 − 4 = (−2)
- Index: 52 = 25
- Multiply: 9 × (−2) = (−18)
- 25 − 18 = 7

9.82 + 9 × (8 − 4)
Answer: 100
- Brackets: 8 − 4 = 4
- Index: 82 = 64
- Multiply: 9 × 4 = 36
- 64 + 36 = 100
10.21 − 25 ÷ 5
Answer: 16
- Divide first: 25 ÷ 5 = 5
- 21 − 5 = 16
11.22 + 4 × (9 − 5)
Answer: 20
- Brackets: 9 − 5 = 4
- Index: 22 = 4
- Multiply: 4 × 4 = 16
- 4 + 16 = 20
12.(3 + 8)2 ÷ 11
Answer: 11

Marking tips
- Give credit for correct method even when the final answer slips — the working shows where the thinking went right.
- For open-ended tasks, use the success criteria as a checklist rather than looking for one "right" answer.
- Celebrate what went well first, then pick one thing to work on next.
