About the Solve the Equations Worksheet

Solve the Equations strengthens students' understanding of mathematical order of operations through a series of carefully structured problems. This interactive and printable worksheet, that aligns with the Common Core State Standards, Solve the Equations presents equations that incorporate parentheses, multiplication, subtraction, and addition with larger numbers. The problems are arranged in a clean, uncluttered format that allows students to focus on applying the correct sequence of operations while working with more challenging numbers.

The worksheet features eight equations that test students' ability to handle multi-step operations with two-digit and three-digit numbers. Each equation combines different operations and requires careful attention to the order of operations, particularly when handling expressions within parentheses. The problems progress in complexity, moving from simpler expressions like "(9 + 2) x 6" to more complex ones involving larger numbers and multiple operations, helping students build confidence while developing their computational skills.

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.
