Order of Operations Worksheet
A mobile kai cart is preparing for a busy lunchtime. Help work out its orders and costs. Use the order of operations: brackets first, then exponents, then multiplication and division from left to right, then addition and subtraction from left to right. Show working for calculations.
Warm-up: Read the expression
Work carefully: the order of operations can change the result.
1.A till display shows 6 + 3 × 4. Which operation should you do first, and what is the value of the whole expression?
2.The cart’s sign says 2 + 3 × 4. Arjun works from left to right and gets 20. Is Arjun correct? Calculate the expression correctly and explain the mistake.
Work the orders
Use the order of operations to solve each kai-cart calculation.
3.A customer buys 3 lunch packs at $8 each and adds a $5 drink. Evaluate 3 × 8 + 5 to find the total cost in dollars.
4.Four friends share the cost of 2 snack boxes priced at $6 each, plus a $4 fruit bowl. Evaluate (2 × 6 + 4) ÷ 4. How much does each friend pay?
5.The cart prepares 5 trays with 2³ mini pikelets on each tray. Evaluate 5 × 2³ to find the number of pikelets.
6.A food order is calculated as 30 − 18 ÷ 3 × 2. Choose the correct value.
- 8
- 18
- 28
- 2
7.The cart packs 4 boxes, each containing 3² muffins. Evaluate 4 × (3² − 2) to find how many muffins are packed.
8.True or false? In 24 ÷ 6 × 2, you must multiply before dividing because multiplication is listed before division in the order of operations. Give the correct value.
TrueFalse
Spot the rule—and make one
Explain your thinking, then create a calculation of your own.
9.Fill in the blanks: In 20 − 2 × 5 + 3, do the first. Then do addition and subtraction from to right. Evaluate the expression.
10.Create a kai-cart calculation that includes brackets, an exponent, multiplication or division, and addition or subtraction. Write your expression and solve it correctly. Your answer will depend on the expression you create.
