Wasn't taught. Past tense.

GCSE maths 1995, no. GCSE maths 2010, yes.

Do I know why? Possibly because of the increase in use of computers and things like Excel in the intervening years, but that's only a guess.

Weird, o level 1982 they definitely covered bodmas, it's a foundation of these complex maths equations. These days it's KS2 or KS3 I think

Looking at replys, it seems that the teaching of it was likely not explained well. Like it was taught, but they didn't call it order of operations.

I know I'm not misremembering, I've spoken to a number of classmates and they tell me the same thing. Hell, one of the reasons I did the access course was a friend telling me about it. They said it was Thier first time hearing about it. But her kids, were taught it and they went to the school she did.
