Order of operations tells your child which step to do first when a problem mixes grouping symbols, multiplication, division, addition, and subtraction. Fifth graders also write expressions from verbal descriptions and explain how grouping changes the structure without needing to evaluate every expression.
6th grade

Examples and teaching notes

By 6th grade, order of operations grows to include exponents: a problem like 3 + 2^2 × 5 asks your child to square first, then multiply, then add. This sheet mixes parentheses, small powers, and all four operations.

Or all math worksheets: every grade, every topic.
