This worksheet is designed to captivate students' attention while reinforcing their understanding of order of operations. By presenting students with a series of expressions to solve, each answer unlocks a fragment of a hidden character, transforming the learning process into an exciting adventure. Through this interactive experience, students not only solidify their comprehension of the order of operations but also cultivate problem-solving skills and perseverance.
Common Core: MATH
Use parentheses, brackets, or braces in numerical expressions, and evaluate expressions with these symbols.
Write and evaluate numerical expressions involving whole-number exponents.
Solve multi-step real-life and mathematical problems posed with positive and negative rational numbers in any form (whole numbers, fractions, and decimals), using tools strategically. Apply properties of operations to calculate with numbers in any form; convert between forms as appropriate; and assess the reasonableness of answers using mental computation and estimation strategies. *For example: If a woman making $25 an hour gets a 10% raise, she will make an additional 1/10 of her salary an hour, or $2.50, for a new salary of $27.50. If you want to place a towel bar 9 3/4 inches long in the center of a door that is 27 1/2 inches wide, you will need to place the bar about 9 inches from each edge; this estimate can be used as a check on the exact computation*.
