Tips for Parents & Teachers

Have students write PEMDAS vertically on scrap paper and check off each letter as they complete problems on the Order Champions worksheet

Watch for the common mistake of performing all operations left to right; pause after each problem to ask why multiplication must come before addition

Use the worksheet's champion theme by awarding a 'round win' sticker for every three correctly solved expressions to keep G6 students motivated

Review the first two problems together, highlighting that division and multiplication are completed as they appear from left to right

Frequently Asked Questions

Why must multiplication and division be done before addition and subtraction?

Multiplication and division represent repeated addition or sharing, which must be resolved first to keep the value of the expression accurate; the Order Champions worksheet practices this exact priority.

What should a Grade 6 student do when an expression has only multiplication and division?

Work strictly from left to right; the worksheet includes several easy problems that test this left-to-right rule so students build the habit.

How can parents help a child remember the order without just memorizing PEMDAS?

Ask the student to explain in their own words why each operation comes next while solving the worksheet problems, reinforcing understanding over rote recall.

What is the most frequent error sixth-graders make on easy order-of-operations problems?

Adding or subtracting before multiplying or dividing; the Order Champions worksheet highlights this by placing mixed-operation expressions early in the set.

How many steps should a student show when solving an easy expression with three operations?

At least two intermediate lines showing the result after multiplication/division and then the final addition/subtraction, matching the expected work on this worksheet.
