Future mathematicians learn how to evaluate numerical expressions by applying the order of operations. They evaluate similar-looking expressions to see how the location of parentheses and exponents affects the value. 

If you need some creative ways to teach the order of operations, use a series of activities that focus on properties. Each lesson uses different materials and works as a stand-alone activity, or can build upon the concepts of the last...

Order in the math class! Scholars learn to evaluate expressions using the order of operations. A game has them rolling number cubes to determine numbers to use when evaluating.

In this order of operations worksheet, students solve complex problems where they practice using the order of operations. Students complete 7 problems.

Middle schoolers solve problems that include applying the order of operations to each expression. A nice review of the process is provided in a box at the top of the page, but it does not follow the PEMDAS acrostic. There are 15...

The order of operations is compared to punctuation in a sentence: it makes the meaning clear. After two example problems are solved according to a four-step format, your math class evaluates 12 expressions on their own. Learners could...

Test your scholars' knowledge of a multitude of concepts with an assessment aligned to the California math standards. Using the exam, class members show what they know about the four operations, positive and negative numbers, statistics...

Here is an extensive set of teacher's notes to help you teach all about integers. Begin by introducing a number line and how it can be used to visualize positive and negative numbers. Talk about absolute value and the additive inverse...

Find the best protein-packed cereal. The short assessment task covers equivalent and comparing ratios within a context. Pupils determine the cereal with the highest ratio of protein. A rubric helps teachers with point allotments for...

In this operations worksheet, students solve a word problem involving the math operations in order. Students complete 1 complicated higher order thinking problem.

Harness the power of algebra to solve problems. Young mathematicians learn to work out multi-step problems by applying algebraic techniques, such as solving equations and proportions. They use tape diagrams to model the problem to finish...

In this math worksheet, students use the operations of division and multiplication to simplify the expressions. They must be sure to apply the order of operations correctly.

Warm up to the idea of solar energy. A lesson includes three activities that challenge scholars to apply knowledge in new ways. First, they learn to run an alarm clock without a battery by using solar energy. Next, they complete an...

Can Dan make a conjecture about dividing fractions with the same denominators? That is what your scholars are to determine. They must show that if the statement is true, they understand how the quantities were determined, and how...

Single-step addition or subtraction operations are applied in order to solve these 12 simple equations. An answer key is available, not so much for you, but perhaps to be used by learners as a self-correction tool. Note that the...

In this number sentences learning exercise, students are given number sentences with just the answers and they are fill in the numbers one to nine only once around the operations. Students complete 6 number sentences in a puzzle.

In these two challenging problem solving worksheets, students calculate the mean, median, and mode and apply the results to find which average is best and then solve challenging multiple answers story problems. Students solve 16...

In this science worksheet, middle schoolers complete a series of puzzles related to the subject of plants. They complete a reading and apply the information to measure reading comprehension.

In this math worksheet, learners apply the skills of different operations in order to solve the 10 word problems that have mixed numerals.

Enjoy these straightforward and simple worksheet pages that practice with different denominators. The practice starts simple with adding fractions together and then works on a recipe that needs to be tripled. 

In this physics instructional activity, learners set up a wind turbine kit to identify what happens when it is assembled. They describe how energy is transferred within the circuit created and how many blades give the highest voltage.
