PEMDAS Review Set

This order of operations worksheet provides a comprehensive review of three-step expressions that require full and accurate use of PEMDAS. Learners evaluate expressions that include parentheses, multiplication or division, and a final addition or subtraction, showing each stage to reinforce precision and procedural fluency.

Instructional Objectives

• Skill Focus (Grades 5-7): Evaluate three-step numerical expressions using the correct order of operations.
• Conceptual Understanding (Grades 5-7): Understand how parentheses and operation hierarchy determine the structure and outcome of expressions.
• Algebraic Reasoning (Grades 6-7): Apply PEMDAS flexibly across varied expression formats while maintaining accuracy.
• Curriculum Alignment (Grades 5-7): Supports expressions and equations, operations and algebraic thinking, fluency, and mathematical practices focused on precision.

The variety of expression structures helps students move beyond memorization and rely on reasoning to determine the correct sequence of steps. Requiring students to show each stage strengthens attention to detail and reduces common order-of-operations errors.

Learning Benefits

• Reinforces consistent, accurate application of PEMDAS
• Builds confidence with structured three-step expressions
• Supports classwork, homework, or readiness skill checks
• Prepares students for more advanced multi-step expression evaluation

This printable worksheet offers focused, mastery-driven practice that helps students demonstrate fluency and precision with three-step order-of-operations problems.
