Bring this focus to a round
Compare the worked example with your own position. Use the reasoning, not an answer copied from a different board. Keep the objective visible.
The objective of a round
Use all four numbers exactly once to obtain 24. Use the instructions to see which actions move you towards it. Start with a deliberate move.
The steps to play

Choosing and moving on screen
Tap two values, an operation and Combine. Use the control method described here for this activity. Look at the feedback after the action.
A useful example
Using 1, 2, 3 and 4 once each, (1 + 3) × (2 + 4) equals 24. Brackets determine which operations happen first. Apply the same reasoning to the position in your own round. Keep the controls nearby.
An important reminder
Division and subtraction depend on selection order; zero division is blocked. Read the feedback to see why an action did not have the expected result. Take enough time to read a new position. If a game has a timer, learn its controls first rather than searching for them during the round.
