Order of Operations - Calculating with Exponents WORKSHEET
Suitable for Grades: 6th Grade
CCSS: 6.EE.A.1, 6.EE.A.3
CCSS Description: Write and evaluate numerical expressions involving wholeānumber exponents.
Apply the properties of operations to generate equivalent expressions. For example, apply the distributive property to the expression 3 (2 + x) to produce the equivalent expression 6 + 3x; apply the distributive property to the expression 24x + 18y to produce the equivalent expression 6 (4x + 3y); apply properties of operations to y + y + y to produce the equivalent expression 3y.

Order of Operations - Calculating with Exponents WORKSHEET DESCRIPTION
This worksheet develops studentsā fluency and reasoning with exponents within the order of operations.
Section A begins with straightforward calculations combining indices and the four operations. In the first question, the same three digits are used throughout, but one element changes in each expression to highlight the impact of order and position. This is followed by an expression-builder task that helps students move from simple calculations to more complex expressions involving multiple operations.
In Section B, learners tackle a range of reasoning and problem-solving challenges. These include identifying and explaining mistakes, arranging expressions in ascending order, constructing their own expressions with exponents, and tackling logic-based puzzles such as filling missing digits, choosing the odd one out, and inserting an exponent to make an equation true.
