Grade 4 Order of Operations Practice

Students need to remember to follow the order of operations: parentheses first, then multiplication and division from left to right, and finally addition and subtraction from left to right.

Here's an example of a grade 4 order of operations practice:

5 x (4 + 2) - 8 =

First, you work on the equation between the parenthesis:

5 x 6 - 8 =

Then you work on the multiplication:

30 - 8 =

Finally, the subtraction:

30 - 8 = 22

In our grade 4 order of operations section, we have several sets of worksheets for students to solve equations involving the four operations with up to six terms and parentheses.

Add and subtract with parentheses worksheets

Students work with five terms in these addition and subtraction worksheets. Students work with parentheses.
