About this worksheet
Evaluate expressions that mix +, −, ×, and ÷ — multiply and divide before adding or subtracting, and let parentheses override that order.
- Fluency with single-digit addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division.
- Comfortable reading an expression left to right.
With mastery, the student learns
- Apply the precedence rule: × and ÷ before + and −.
- Evaluate left to right within the same precedence group.
- Recognize that parentheses force whatever is inside to be computed first, regardless of operator.
