Should you be on pistonheads if youre in year 6?

Do your parents know?

(Square of 4)/2+ (1/1) + 6 = 8

Now at year 6, the BODMAS rule should be securely known.

That is: the preferential use of each operator, the order of preference is
Brackets, Of, Divide, Multiply, Add, Subtract.
I imagine the teacher will be looking for an exposition of that.
