Order of Operations (PEMDAS) – Reference Sheet

This Order of Operations (PEMDAS) printable is a visual reference designed to help students understand the correct sequence for solving math expressions. The guide clearly breaks down each step — Parentheses, Exponents, Multiplication and Division, and Addition and Subtraction — and includes a worked example to show how the process is applied in real problems.

Many students struggle with PEMDAS not because the math is difficult, but because the order feels abstract. Having a simple visual guide nearby helps reinforce the steps and reduces common mistakes like adding too early or skipping parentheses. This worksheet is ideal for middle school math, pre-algebra review, and homeschool instruction.

This free printable works well as a study aid, notebook insert, or classroom reference and is formatted to be easy to read, print, and reuse throughout the year.
