Practice Evaluating Expressions using Order of Operations

What is the first step on the order of operations pyramid?

• subtraction or addition

• exponents

• grouping

• multiplication or division

Click all of the following below that show a grouping symbol.

• $6\ +\ 13$
  

• $\left(-5\ \times\ 3^2\right)$
  

• $\left|\ -9\ -1\right|$

• $\frac{6\ +2}{-3}$

• $2\ +\ 4\ -9$

Identify the first step to evaluate the expression.

 $15\ +\ 9\ \times\ 3\ -8$  

• 15 + 9

• 9 x 3

• 3 - 8

• 15 + 27

Identify the first step to evaluate the expression.

 $20\ -\left(8-5\right)^3$  

• 20-8

• 8-5

•  $5^3$  

•  $3^3$  

What is the first step to evaluate?

 $3+7^2-\left|-10\right|$  

•  $7^2$  

•  $3+49$  

•  $\left|-10\right|$  

•  $3\ +\ 7^2$  

Using the order of operations, what is the second operation that should be performed in the problem.

 $5^2-\left(6-3\right)\ \times\ 2$  

•  $6-3$  

•  $3\times2$  

•  $5^2$  

•  $25-3$  

Evaluate the expression using the order of operations.

 $20\ -\left(4^2\ +3\right)$  

• 9

• 7

• 2

• 1

Evaluate the expression using the order of operations. HINT: remember inside the grouping before outside

 $10\ +\left(6\ -\ 3\right)^3$  

Simply the expression using the order of operations.

 $\frac{4^2}{-2}$  

• 4

• -4

• 8

• -8

Evaluate using the order of operations.

 $\left|7-12\right|+2^3$
