About this worksheet
When an expression has more than one operation, everyone has to agree on the order, or the same expression would give different answers. Work inside parentheses and brackets first, then multiply and divide from left to right, then add and subtract from left to right.
This fifth grade sheet has ten expressions to solve, some with parentheses, some with brackets and some with none, and every answer is a whole number. Each version has different expressions, and the answer key gives the value of each one.
What your child will learn
- Work inside parentheses first
- Multiply and divide before adding and subtracting
- Use brackets
- Find the value of an expression
Common Core standard: 5.OA.A.1
Worked example
In 4 + 3 × 5, multiply 3 × 5 = 15 first, then add 4, so the value is 19.
Common mistake
Working strictly left to right, so 4 + 3 × 5 becomes 35.
Helpful hint
Do grouped operations first, then multiply or divide, then add or subtract.
