Using these sheets will help your child to:

learn to use parentheses (brackets) and understand how they work;

practice using PEMDAS to solve a range of different problems involving parentheses, exponents, as well as addition, subtraction, multiplication and division.

These pemdas problems are aimed at a 5th and 6th grade level.

What is 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

One popular way to remember the PEMDAS rule is the saying:

'Please Excuse My Dear Aunt Sally'.

However, the PEMDAS rule is not quite so straightforward as it seems.

If you would like help using this rule and looking at some worked examples, follow the link below.
