What students practice
Give order of operations a meaning students can see. Count groups and extra tiles, build repeated two-part rods, then write, interpret and evaluate numerical expressions. Also aligned with Common Core: 5.OA.A.1 and 5.OA.A.2 (two-operation whole-number expressions, no nested grouping).

Who it's for
The 43 multi-part items connect models to written expressions and both calculation steps. Students compare expressions with and without grouping, work left to right within equal-priority operations, correct claims and write expressions for five stories. Some tasks ask for the meaning or expression without calculating a total. Every complete expression has two operations. Grouping may use one pair of parentheses, brackets or braces, without nesting. Calculations use whole numbers with exact division and nonnegative results. Variables and exponents are not part of this packet.
