Part A of this exercise consists of 10 set questions. These will give you the opportunity to practice the rules of BODMAS covered in Chapter 1 of the Maths for Vic 7 coursebook. You will receive immediate feedback on the accuracy of your answers by the colour-coding function, score chart and comments. There is also a pie chart that updates your progress.

In Part B, design a quiz for a partner to try out. This quiz doesn’t have to be about BODMAS – it can be applied to any questions that have a unique answer.
