About the Order of Operations Worksheet

Order of Operations develops students' understanding of mathematical hierarchy through systematic problem-solving. This interactive and printable worksheet, that aligns with the Common Core State Standards, Order of Operations presents a comprehensive collection of problems that progress from basic to complex expressions. The problems incorporate parentheses, multiplication, division, addition, and subtraction, requiring students to apply the proper sequence of operations to arrive at accurate solutions. Each problem provides dedicated space for showing work, encouraging students to demonstrate their step-by-step thinking process.

Throughout the four-page worksheet, students encounter increasingly challenging expressions that test their mastery of PEMDAS (Parentheses, Exponents, Multiplication and Division from left to right, Addition and Subtraction from left to right). The engaging space-themed illustrations make the learning experience more enjoyable while maintaining focus on mathematical concepts. The gradual progression in difficulty helps build confidence as students tackle more complex expressions with multiple operations and nested parentheses.

Common core standards covered

5.OA.A.2

Write simple expressions that record calculations with numbers, and interpret numerical expressions without evaluating them. For example, express the calculation "add 8 and 7, then multiply by 2" as 2 _ (8 + 7). Recognize that 3 _ (18932 + 921) is three times as large as 18932 + 921, without having to calculate the indicated sum or product.

5.OA.B.3

Generate two numerical patterns using two given rules. Identify apparent relationships between corresponding terms. Form ordered pairs consisting of corresponding terms from the two patterns, and graph the ordered pairs on a coordinate plane. For example, given the rule "Add 3" and the starting number 0, and given the rule "Add 6" and the starting number 0, generate terms in the resulting sequences, and observe that the terms in one sequence are twice the corresponding terms in the other sequence. Explain informally why this is so.
