Order of Operations Worksheets

Order of operations worksheets for grades 5 to 7 help students master solving expressions using the correct mathematical sequence, commonly known as PEMDAS (Parentheses, Exponents, Multiplication and Division, Addition and Subtraction). These worksheets break down each step, making it easier for students to solve complex expressions accurately and confidently.

These Order of Operations worksheets are the best for children who need to solve  mathematical expressions which involves more than one fundamental arithmetic operation. You can also call it PEDMAS worksheets. Thus order of operations are just a set of rules that tell you the order in which  math operation (Addition/ Subtraction/ Multiplication/ Division) should be done.
Let us learn to solve arithmetic expressions

Let us consider the expression 10- 2 x 3.
If we subtract first 10 – 2 x 3 = 8 x 3 = 24
If we multiply first 10- 2 x 3 = 10- 6 = 4

We are getting two different answers. Hence, to avoid confusions and always arrive the correct answer, we follow a definite order to evaluate an expression.

The rules to follow when you evaluate an arithmetic expression.
1. Do operations in Parentheses first
2. Exponents
3. Multiplication/ Division (Go from left to right, do whichever operation comes first)
4. Addition/ Subtraction (Go from left to right, do whichever operation comes first)

Parentheses→Exponents→Division→Multiplication→Addition→Subtraction. Form an acronym, PEDMAS rule of Operations.

A few arithmetic expressions have been evaluated step- by- step using PEDMAS for easy understanding. Have a look before you download our free worksheets for practice.

The worksheets also include fun challenges and puzzles to keep students engaged. Activities like missing number problems and math riddles help reinforce learning in an enjoyable way.

Teachers can use these worksheets in class, for homework, or during test prep. They’re perfect for reinforcing lessons and helping students review key concepts.

In conclusion, these worksheets for grades 5 to 7 provide essential practice for mastering PEMDAS. With regular use, students develop stronger problem-solving skills and a solid math foundation for future topics.
