Order of Operations (6th Grade)

Front

What is the Order of Operations?

Back

A set of rules that determines the correct sequence to evaluate a mathematical expression. The order is Parentheses, Exponents, Multiplication and Division (from left to right), Addition and Subtraction (from left to right).

What does PEMDAS stand for?

Back

PEMDAS is an acronym for Parentheses, Exponents, Multiplication, Division, Addition, and Subtraction, which represents the order of operations.

Front

Evaluate the expression: 5 + 3 × 2

Back

11 (First, multiply 3 × 2 = 6, then add 5 + 6 = 11).

Front

Evaluate the expression: 8 - 2 + 4

Back

10 (Perform addition and subtraction from left to right: 8 - 2 = 6, then 6 + 4 = 10).

Front

What operation do you perform first in the expression: (3 + 4) × 2?

Back

Parentheses (First, calculate 3 + 4 = 7, then multiply by 2).

Front

Evaluate the expression: 6 ÷ 2 + 3

Back

6 (First, divide 6 ÷ 2 = 3, then add 3 + 3 = 6).

Front

What is the value of the expression: 10 - (2 + 3)?

Back

5 (First, calculate the parentheses: 2 + 3 = 5, then 10 - 5 = 5).

Front

Which operation should you perform first in the expression: 4 + 5^2?

Back

Exponent (First, calculate 5^2 = 25, then add 4 + 25 = 29).

Front

Evaluate the expression: 2 × (3 + 5) - 4

Back

10 (First, calculate the parentheses: 3 + 5 = 8, then 2 × 8 = 16, and finally 16 - 4 = 12).

Front

What is the value of the expression: 12 ÷ 3 × 2?

Back

8 (First, divide 12 ÷ 3 = 4, then multiply by 2: 4 × 2 = 8).
