What Is PEMDAS in Math?
PEMDAS is basically a memory tool that will help your young students from 5th grade to 7th grade remember the order in which operations should be completed in a math problem. It stands for:
- P: Parentheses
- E: Exponents
- MD: Multiplication and Division (left to right)
- AS: Addition and Subtraction (left to right)
Following PEMDAS ensures that students solve problems in the correct order, which is essential for getting accurate answers in math.
Benefits of Our PEMDAS Worksheets
PEMDAS worksheets improve critical thinking and accuracy. Students learn to solve problems step-by-step, which strengthens their logic and attention to detail. These worksheets help prepare students for algebra, pre-algebra, and standardized tests. They also build confidence in math by offering structured practice with clear feedback through included answer keys.
Real-Life Uses of Order of Operations
Order of operations is used in everyday math, like calculating discounts, budgeting, measuring recipes, or working with formulas in science. For example, solving an expression like (5+3)×2(5 + 3) \times 2(5+3)×2 correctly depends on knowing which steps to do first. These worksheets show students how PEMDAS is useful beyond the classroom by relating it to real-world math problems.
What Should Students Know Before Learning PEMDAS?
Before learning PEMDAS, students should:
- Know basic math operations (add, subtract, multiply, divide)
- Be familiar with parentheses and simple math expressions
- Understand how to use exponents
- Practice solving one-step and two-step problems
Our worksheets build on these skills, helping students transition smoothly into using the full order of operations in more complex problems.
