Fifth graders tackle expressions where exponents meet every other operation: 2³ + 5 × 3, (7 - 4)² + 6, 6² ÷ 9 + 2 × 5, and 3 × (2 + 1)² - 7. The fill-in-blank section pushes further with 4² - 2 × 5, (5 - 2)² × 2 + 1, 3³ - 4 × 6, and 2² × 3 + 5² ÷ 5.

Working through expressions that mix powers, parentheses, and all four operations in one line stretches students past the easy cases and prepares them for the kinds of problems they will see in middle-school algebra.
