Basic Operations

This worksheet introduces students to two-step order of operations problems using a mixture of addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division. Each item includes parentheses or a multiplication/division step to complete before finishing with a secondary operation. Students practice applying PEMDAS rules in a simplified format, strengthening their understanding of how operations are sequenced. The worksheet encourages careful, step-by-step reasoning and helps build confidence with multi-step numerical expressions. Learners develop fluency in identifying which operation to perform first and how to compute accurate final answers.
