What's on the worksheet

  1. Evaluate each expression, working inside the parentheses first:
    (14 − 6) × 74 × (15 − 2 × 6)9 + (40 − 16) ÷ 6(7 + 5) × (13 − 9)
  2. Find what Jenny did wrong with 5 plus 3 times a group, then find the correct value.
  3. Evaluate each expression with brackets and braces, working from the inside out:
    [(9 + 7) \div 4] \times 660 \div [2 \times (11 - 6)]\{40 - [3 \times (2 + 4)]\} \div 2100 - 4 \times \{[6 + (21 \div 3)] + 2\}
  4. Place parentheses to make each statement true:
    18 − 6 ÷ 3 = 45 × 8 − 3 + 2 = 2736 ÷ 3 + 6 × 2 = 82 + 3 × 4 + 1 = 25
  5. Evaluate an expression with brackets, rewriting it each time a group is done.
  6. Place one pair of parentheses to make a value as large and as small as possible.
