PEMDAS Matching Review

This order of operations worksheet reinforces PEMDAS skills by asking students to evaluate expressions with missing factors and match each completed expression to the correct answer from an answer bank. Learners apply careful multi-step reasoning, verify results through elimination, and strengthen both accuracy and confidence.

Instructional Objectives

• Skill Focus (Grades 6-8): Evaluate multi-step expressions with missing values using the correct order of operations.
• Conceptual Understanding (Grades 6-8): Understand how intermediate steps and operation hierarchy affect final results.
• Algebraic Reasoning (Grades 7-8): Determine missing factors through structured reasoning and process-of-elimination strategies.
• Curriculum Alignment (Grades 6-8): Supports expression evaluation, algebraic reasoning, mathematical precision, and critical thinking standards.

The matching format encourages students to double-check their work and confirm solutions logically rather than relying on a single computation pass. This built-in verification supports careful analysis and reduces common PEMDAS errors.

Learning Benefits

• Strengthens self-checking and verification habits
• Reinforces accurate, step-by-step use of PEMDAS
• Engages students through matching and elimination strategies
• Effective for centers, quick assessments, or skill reinforcement

This printable worksheet provides structured, engaging practice that helps students confidently evaluate expressions, identify missing values, and verify solutions using the order of operations.
