Updated Oct 2026

This Grade 7 mathematics worksheet builds fluency with the order of operations using the GEMDAS framework: grouping symbols, exponents, multiplication and division, and addition and subtraction. Students identify which operation to complete first, recognize grouping symbols and exponents, and evaluate numerical expressions that combine several operations, including expressions with parentheses, multiplication, division, and whole-number or signed values. The worksheet contains 19 items: 18 multiple-choice questions and one fill-in-the-blank question. It moves from identifying parts of an expression and selecting the first operation to simplifying and solving multi-step expressions, helping teachers check both procedural understanding and calculation accuracy. Use this free printable worksheet for Grade 7 math practice, independent work, review, or a quick assessment. A complete answer key is included for efficient checking and feedback.

FAQs

What does this Order of Operations worksheet help students learn?

This Grade 7 worksheet helps students use GEMDAS to evaluate multi-step numerical expressions. Its 18 multiple-choice items and one fill-in-the-blank item ask students to identify grouping symbols and exponents, choose the operation to complete first, and simplify expressions containing parentheses, multiplication, division, addition, and subtraction.

How can I use this worksheet to teach the order of operations?

Introduce GEMDAS by having students identify the grouping symbols and exponent shown in the worksheet before solving any full expression. Then model how to select the first operation and work through one multi-step example one stage at a time. Students can complete the remaining multiple-choice items independently, explaining why their selected operation comes first before checking the fill-in-the-blank response.

What mistakes should I watch for when students complete this order of operations worksheet?

Watch for students starting with addition or subtraction before resolving grouping symbols, exponents, or multiplication and division. Students may also treat an exponent as a separate number to add or multiply, or fail to evaluate multiplication and division in the correct sequence within an expression. Ask them to mark the first operation they selected and show each simplification step.

How do I assign and grade this Order of Operations worksheet?

The worksheet is available as a printable PDF and as a digital quiz on Wayground, so you can assign the 19-item practice in the format that fits your lesson. It includes a complete answer key for checking the multiple-choice and fill-in-the-blank responses. For printable submissions, scan student work with the Wayground for Teachers app to help grade the completed worksheet.

How can I differentiate this order of operations worksheet for my students?

Use the worksheet’s Advanced Settings to adjust font spacing or increase the font size so the numerical expressions and grouping symbols are easier to follow. You can also enable a dyslexia-friendly font or translate the worksheet into another language when those file-level changes support access to the order-of-operations practice.
