Math Worksheets 5th Grade - Exponents and Parentheses

Here you will find a range of 5th grade math sheets which will help your child learn to use parentheses and exponents.
The sheets are arranged in order of difficulty with the easiest sheets first.

Using these sheets will help your child to:

  • learn to use parentheses (brackets) and understand how they work;
  • learn to use exponents (powers) and understand how they work.
All the math worksheets 5th grade in this section support the Elementary Math Benchmarks for Fifth Grade.

Using PEMDAS

PEMDAS (sometimes referred to as PEMDAS, BEDMAS or BODMAS) is a mathematical acronym to help you understand how calculations work.

The acronym refers to the order in which any calculation shold be done, and is typically introduced at around the 5th grade level.

The acronym stands for the following:

  • P = Parentheses (Brackets)
  • E = Exponents
  • D = Division
  • M = Multiplication
  • A = Addition
  • S = Subtraction

Example of the PEDMAS rule

Example 1

3 + 4 x 5

The operations are addition and multiplication.

In PEDMAS, multiplication comes before addition.

So 3 + 4 x 5 = 3 + 20 = 23

Example 2

4 x (2 + 3)

The operations are multiplication and addition, there are also parentheses (brackets).

Using PEDMAS, the part in Parentheses must come first.

So 4 x (2 + 3) = 4 x 5 = 20

Example 3

24 - (3 x 4)

There are Exponents, and Parentheses, as well as subtraction and multiplication.

Using PEDMAS, the part in Parentheses must come first.

So 24 - (3 x 4) = 24 - 12

Using PEDMAS, Exponents comes next.

So 24 - 12 = 16 - 12 = 4

Parentheses and Exponents Worksheets

The sheets below do use the PEDMAS rule, but it is not necessary for you to be familiar with it in order to complete the worksheets.

The math worksheets 5th grade below gradually introduce parentheses and exponents in a simple way so that your child can (hopefully) quickly grasp these concepts.
