Order of operations
Maths worksheets from urbrainy.com
Remember, in a number sentence (or
expression) when there are several operations,
we need to stick to some rules. Here they are:
1. First do the operations that are in brackets.
2. Then do any divisions.
This is often known as bodmas.
3. Thirdly do any multiplications (The o stands for ‘of’.)
Lastly, do any additions and subtractions
Work out the value of each of these number sentences. Remember to do the brackets
first.
1. (4 x 5) − (6 ÷ 2) 2. (7 x 8) – (30 ÷ 5)
3. (40 − 12) + (2 x 6) 4. (50 − 32) + (4 x 3)
Put the brackets in the correct places to make these number sentences true.
5. 5 x 5 + 6 = 55 6. 50 ÷ 5 + 5 = 5
7. 20 ÷ 4 x 3 = 15 8. 8 x 6 – 2 = 32

Work out the value of each of
these number sentences.
Remember to do the brackets first.
1. (3 x 7) − (10 ÷ 2) x 4 2. (4 x 10) – (25 ÷ 5) x 6
3. (10 − 7) + (6 x 6) ÷ 2 4. (20 − 8) + (10 x 6) ÷ 5
Put the brackets in the correct
places to make these number
sentences true.
5. 6x5–4=6 6. 8 – 4 x 10 = 40
7. 2 + 3 x 4 + 5 = 45 8. 10 ÷ 2 + 10 x 6 = 65
Write these out putting
< or > or =
to make them correct.
9. (8 + 4) x 5 ? 8 + (4 x 5) 10. (4 x 4) ÷ 2 ? 4 + (4 x 2)
11. (10 x 5) + 5 ? 5 x 11 12. (6 ÷ 6) x 2 ? 14 – (6 x 2)
