Order of Operations (PEMDAS)
Part A: Fix the Sentence
Each sentence has an error. Rewrite it correctly on the line.
1. Fix the sentence:
7 + 8 ÷ 2 = 7.5
Rewrite: 7 + 8 ÷ 2 = 11
2. Fix the sentence:
15 - 3 × 3 = 36
Rewrite: 15 - 3 × 3 = 6
3. Fix the sentence:
2 + 10 ÷ 5 × 3 = 7.2
Rewrite: 2 + 10 ÷ 5 × 3 = 8
Part B: Fill in the Blank
Write the missing word or number on each line.
1. In PEMDAS, the E stands for Exponents.
2. 3 × 7 - 10 = 11.
3. 18 ÷ 9 + 6 × 2 = 14.
4. 4 + 16 ÷ 4 - 1 = 7.
Part C: Short Answer
Answer each question in one or two complete sentences.
1. A student wrote 6 + 3 × 2 = 18. What mistake did the student make?
The student added 6 + 3 first to get 9, then multiplied by 2. The correct way is to multiply first: 3 × 2 = 6, then 6 + 6 = 12.
2. Addition and subtraction are done left to right in PEMDAS. Show how to solve 20 - 5 + 3 - 1.
Work left to right: 20 - 5 = 15, then 15 + 3 = 18, then 18 - 1 = 17. The answer is 17.
