Order of Operations Practice

Help plan a busy snack stand by evaluating each expression carefully. Work inside brackets first. Then multiply and divide from left to right, followed by addition and subtraction from left to right. Show your working where space is provided.

1. Brackets first

2. Multiplication and division, left to right

3. Addition and subtraction, left to right

Warm-up: Order matters

Evaluate each expression. Remember that multiplication and division come before addition and subtraction.

1.At the snack stand, 6 trays hold 4 muffins each. There are also 3 muffins on the counter. Evaluate 6 × 4 + 3 to find the total number of muffins.

2.Evaluate 18 − 12 ÷ 3. Choose the correct answer.

3.Evaluate 24 ÷ 4 + 2 × 5. Write the answer and show which operations you did first.

Brackets change the plan

Work out the brackets before moving on to the other operations.

4.A box has 5 rows of 6 juice cartons. Another 4 cartons are added. Evaluate 5 × 6 + 4.

5.Evaluate (20 − 8) ÷ 3 + 7. Show the bracket step and your final calculation.

6.True or false? In 16 ÷ 4 × 2, you must multiply before dividing because multiplication is listed before division.

TrueFalse

7.Fill in the missing number to make the equation true: 3 + 2 × □ = 17.

8.Match each expression to its value. Evaluate the expressions using the order of operations.

8 + 3 × 4
(8 + 3) × 4
30 − 12 ÷ 3

9.A snack order is written as 4 + 3 × (10 − 6) ÷ 2. Evaluate it, showing the order of your steps.

10.Ngaio calculates 7 + 5 × 2 as (7 + 5) × 2 and gets 24. Explain the mistake and give the correct answer.
