Order of Operations Worksheet

Are you looking for a unique way for your students to practise evaluating numerical expressions? Teach Starter has developed a resource ready for you to use with your students in your maths lessons! Maths mazes are fun for students to practise computational skills without the standard ‘worksheet’ approach.

With this worksheet, students will find their way through a maze by solving a variety of numerical expressions. Students should have an understanding of using BODMAS when solving expressions with more than one operation. The problems in this math maze include those with exponents and brackets. 

An answer key is included with your download to make grading fast and easy!  

Tips for Differentiation + Scaffolding 

In addition to independent student work time, use this worksheet as an activity for:

• guided maths groups
• lesson wrap-up
• fast finishers 
• homework assignment
• whole-class review (via smartboard).

For students who need a challenge, have students create an additional numerical expression that matches each answer.

For students who need extra support, provide a visual reminder of the steps in solving numerical expressions.
