Order of Operations Worksheets
Page one has ten expressions to evaluate plus four number sentences that need parentheses. Page two asks students to write expressions from words without solving them, and to compare two expressions without calculating.
Choose parentheses only, or parentheses, brackets and braces, then press “New worksheet”.
Order of Operations
Work inside parentheses ( ) first. Next multiply and divide from left to right. Then add and subtract from left to right.
- (4 + 7) × 3 =
- 19 + 4 × 2 − 1 =
- (84 − 3) ÷ 9 =
- 10 + 9 × 3 =
- 21 + 30 ÷ 5 =
- 4 × (11 − 2) =
- 5 × (8 − 3) =
- 13 + 2 × 5 − 4 =
- (5 + 2) × 9 =
- 15 + 27 ÷ 3 =
Add parentheses to make each number sentence true.
- 5 + 5 × 8 = 80
- 5 × 5 + 4 = 45
- 3 + 7 × 3 = 30
- 4 × 8 + 8 = 64
Write the Expression
Write an expression for each sentence. Use parentheses when a step must be done first. You do not need to solve it.
- Add 9 and 3, then multiply by 3.
- Add 10 to the product of 2 and 2.
- Multiply the sum of 5 and 7 by 7.
- Multiply 9 by 4, then add 10.
Without solving, circle the expression that is greater. Explain how you know.
- 3 × (120 + 58)120 + 58
Order of Operations: Answer Key
Work inside parentheses ( ) first. Next multiply and divide from left to right. Then add and subtract from left to right.
- (4 + 7) × 3 = 33
- 19 + 4 × 2 − 1 = 26
- (84 − 3) ÷ 9 = 9
- 10 + 9 × 3 = 37
- 21 + 30 ÷ 5 = 27
- 4 × (11 − 2) = 36
- 5 × (8 − 3) = 25
- 13 + 2 × 5 − 4 = 19
- (5 + 2) × 9 = 63
- 15 + 27 ÷ 3 = 24
Add parentheses to make each number sentence true.
- (5 + 5) × 8 = 80
- 5 × (5 + 4) = 45
- (3 + 7) × 3 = 30
- 4 × (8 + 8) = 64
Write the Expression: Answer Key
Write an expression for each sentence. Use parentheses when a step must be done first. You do not need to solve it.
- Add 9 and 3, then multiply by 3.(9 + 3) × 3
- Add 10 to the product of 2 and 2.10 + 2 × 2
- Multiply the sum of 5 and 7 by 7.(5 + 7) × 7
- Multiply 9 by 4, then add 10.9 × 4 + 10
Without solving, circle the expression that is greater. Explain how you know.
- 3 × (120 + 58)120 + 583 × (120 + 58) is three times as large as 120 + 58.
Teaching tips
- Common Core 5.OA.A.1 asks students to use parentheses, brackets or braces in numerical expressions and evaluate them, and 5.OA.A.2 asks them to write and interpret simple expressions, like writing “add 8 and 7, then multiply by 2” as 2 × (8 + 7).
- Multiply and divide from left to right, then add and subtract from left to right. Multiplication does not always come before division.
- Have students underline the first step in each expression before solving.
