Worksheet 1Evaluate: (11 + 6) x 6
Evaluate: 18 + 3 x 2
Evaluate: [11 + 7] - 8
Which operation should be done first in 7 + 4 x 2?
Which expression means "add 17 and 7, then multiply by 8"?
Evaluate: (4 + 4) x 3
Evaluate: 3 + 3 x 3
Evaluate: [12 + 8] - 4
Which operation should be done first in 11 + 6 x 5?
Which expression means "add 4 and 3, then multiply by 3"?
Order of operations gives students a shared rule for evaluating expressions that contain more than one operation asks fifth graders to coordinate notation, calculation, and reasoning instead of applying a memorized step in isolation. Students may work strictly left to right even when multiplication, division, or grouping symbols show that a different step must happen first. This worksheet rotates through short self-checking items so students practice the named skill from several angles. Students evaluate expressions with parentheses and brackets, choose the first operation, compare expressions, and match word situations to grouped expressions. Support versions keep numbers friendlier while preserving the same reasoning. Standard and challenge versions add closer choices, less familiar values, or an extra comparison step. Encourage your child to name the operation, place value, unit, or property before calculating. If an answer is close but uses the wrong place, denominator, operation order, or unit, it is the trap.
In 4 + 3 x 5, multiply 3 x 5 first, then add 4, so the value is 19.
Ignoring parentheses or doing every operation from left to right.
Do grouped operations first, then multiply or divide before adding or subtracting.
