pdf Order Of Operations - B

This worksheet provides focused practice evaluating numerical expressions using the order of operations. Students solve 20 expressions that require careful sequencing of multiplication, division, addition, subtraction, parentheses, and exponents. Problems such as \(8 \times 4 + 3 \times 2\), \(3 + 5 \times 2 + 3 \times 7\), \((8^4 + 3^2 - 1) \div 8\), and \((4 + 6)^2\) reinforce the importance of following the correct operational hierarchy.

The problem set includes expressions with parentheses, multi-step operations, and exponents such as \(8 \times 2^2\) and \(3^2 - 7 + 3\). Students must apply multiplication and division from left to right before performing addition and subtraction, and simplify inside parentheses before continuing. Because the worksheet contains a wide variety of structures, it helps students avoid common errors and build confidence in multi-step computation.

With 20 carefully designed expressions, this resource strengthens procedural fluency and reinforces the structure of numerical expressions. It works well as guided practice, independent work, homework, small-group intervention, or assessment preparation when reviewing order of operations.
