Help Your Students Master Order of Operations (Free Anchor Chart + Practice Pack!)
Struggling with the order of operations (PEMDAS) is one of the most common math hurdles for middle school students.
They mix up multiplication and division, forget to work left to right, or skip parentheses entirely.
The result? Lots of frustration — for both students and teachers.
That’s why I put together this free Order of Operations Survival Kit — a quick, classroom-ready resource designed to make PEMDAS simple and clear.
Inside, you’ll find:
✔️ A student-friendly anchor chart (PEMDAS explained step by step)
✔️ The Top 3 mistakes students make — and how to fix them
✔️ A set of practice problems with space to show work
✔️ A full answer key for easy grading
This mini-pack is perfect for:
- Warm-ups or bell ringers
- Homework review
- Small group intervention
- Quick classroom reference (print the anchor chart for binders!)
