Year 5 order of operations worksheets
Free Year 5 order of operations worksheets for brackets, multiplication, division, addition and subtraction.
Parent and teacher guide
Order of operations helps students read number sentences consistently. Begin with expressions that show why different orders can give different answers. A common mistake is working strictly left to right even when multiplication or brackets should be completed first. Use colour-coding or step numbers so students can mark what to do first, second and third. Keep early examples short, then build to mixed operations. Encourage students to rewrite each line neatly so the structure stays visible.

Common mistakes to watch for
Ask the student to explain their method before moving to a test. If they can only guess, return to one visual model and one worked example. Short practice with feedback usually works better than a long worksheet completed without review.
