This worksheet provides rigorous practice applying order of operations while working with positive and negative integers. Students evaluate 15 multi-step expressions such as \(3(-4) + (-6)(-3)\), \(20 - 18 \div (-6) - 3 + 10^2\), \((5^2 - 4) \div (-8)\), and \((-18 + 12) \div (10 + 4)\), reinforcing both operational sequencing and integer sign rules.
Each problem requires students to evaluate inside parentheses first, apply exponents when present, perform multiplication and division from left to right, and complete addition and subtraction in the final step. Because many expressions include multiple negative factors, quotients, and grouped terms, students must carefully apply integer rules such as a negative times a negative producing a positive result.
The structure of the worksheet pushes students to manage layered operations and signed numbers simultaneously, strengthening accuracy and procedural discipline. This resource works well as guided practice, independent work, homework, small-group intervention, or assessment preparation within a unit on integer operations and order of operations.
