Grade 5 order of operations practice. Lessons, examples, and exercises aligned to grade 5 standards.
Skills Assessed
- PEMDAS: Parentheses, Exponents, Multiplication & Division, Addition & Subtraction
- Multiplication and division are solved left to right (equal priority)
- Addition and subtraction are solved left to right (equal priority)
- Parentheses (and brackets) are always first
- Nested parentheses: work from innermost out
Common Mistakes
- Adding before multiplying: 2 + 3 × 4 = 14, not 20
- Forgetting that × and ÷ have equal priority (left to right)
- Forgetting that + and - have equal priority (left to right)
- Ignoring parentheses or solving outside before inside
- Applying PEMDAS as strict left-right instead of correct grouping
