The following activity sheets will teach your students the proper order of operations in equations.

Things to Consider When Solving Order of Operations Problems with Decimals Placed - More than 90% people solve mathematics problems incorrectly. Order of operations help them to get a correct answer. The order of solving math's question should be step by step. There will be minimum chances of mistakes. If you don't have an idea how to solve the problem without order of operations, you will solve them from left to right. You always need to shift the order by which you perform out your calculations. Then, you will change your answer. For instance, we have a problem such as; 2 + 2 × 2 - 2/2. If you are not using the standard approach, you will add numbers first, then, multiply, subtract, and divide. Then, you will get an answer that is 3. However, the correct and real answer is 5. The right way of solving the question is to multiply, add, subtract, and then divide. Also, remember the following computations; 1) Compute the things inside parentheses. 2) Simplify the exponents values 3) Use the order from left to right by computing multiplication and division. 4) Use order from left to right by computing addition and subtraction. 5) You can change the order as per the given question. For example, if you skip the multiplication sign in question, then, you will add, subtract, and then divide the given values.

Decimals do add a little bit of confusion when you are working with decimals. It adds an extra step and you need to pay special attention to the decimal point. All the way through this section the parenthesis will be an issue. This is because when you need to find products with decimals, it is often difficult to find room to write them in. These worksheets explain which operations should be carried out, and in which order, for equations containing multiple operations. This group of questions involves equations with decimals.

Decimals and Order of Operations Lesson

To solve any equation having multiple operators, we solve it according to the PEMDAS rule. According to the PEMDAS rule, problems are solved in this order: P Parentheses first, E Exponents (i.e. Powers and Square Roots, etc.), MD Multiplication then Division (left-to-right), AS Addition and Subtraction (left-to-right).
