PEMDAS Practice 1

This quiz brings parentheses into the mix, with 12 problems and a few true-or-false equations that test the full order of operations.

You will tackle lines like 5 + 3 x (4 + 2) = or 30 - 2 x (5 + 4) =, clearing the brackets before anything else.

The name PEMDAS fools a lot of students into thinking multiplication always beats division and addition always beats subtraction. In reality each of those pairs is worked left to right, so the letters are more of a loose guide than a strict ranking.

Recommended level: intermediate.
