This hard Grade 4 worksheet challenges students with multi-step expressions using all four operations and clever parentheses placement. Multiple-choice items ask which expression equals a target value, where parentheses belong to make a true equation, and which expression matches a short word problem. Fill-in items require strict PEMDAS evaluation and parentheses insertion. By completing four MC questions and five fills, Grade 4 learners gain confidence applying every operation under correct priority rules.
Style:
Order of Operations Introduction
Part A: Multiple Choice
Circle the best answer for each question.
1. Which expression equals 30?
A) (2+3)*6
B) 4+5*6
C) 20-2*5
D) (10-4)/2
2. Which expression matches 'add 6 and 4, then multiply by 5'?
A) 6+4*5
B) (6+4)*5
C) 6*(4+5)
D) 6+(4*5)
3. Where do parentheses go to make 8-3*2=10 true?
A) 8-(3*2)
B) 8-3*(2)
C) (8-3)*2
D) (8-3*2)
4. Which expression best models 'Jay has 4 boxes of 3 toys minus 2 broken'?
A) 4+3*2
B) (4-3)*2
C) 4*(3-2)
D) 4*3-2
Part B: Fill in the Blank
Write the correct answer on each line.
1. Compute 2+3*4-1 = 13 following PEMDAS strictly.
2. (6+2)*3-4 equals 20 when parens are evaluated first.
3. Place parens in 4+6/2 to get 5: (4+6)/2.
4. 20-(5+3)*2 = 4 after parens, multiplication, and subtraction.
5. (12/4+1)*3 equals 12 using order of operations.
