What’s Included in the Resources for Order of Operations?

🔥Curriculum Aligned

Aligned to the Australian Curriculum v9.0 and the US Common Core, these order of operations resources help teachers explain why BODMAS and PEMDAS exist and how each step protects mathematical accuracy. Worked examples and class discussions give students a clear, reusable framework for any multi-step expression.

🌍 Differentiated for Students

Reinforce the order of operations with practical exercises like working out totals at the checkout, balancing a budget, or calculating sport scores and timings. Real-world contexts make the rule feel useful rather than arbitrary, which helps students remember to apply it.

💡Incredible Teacher Resources

Lessons progress from single-bracket problems through expressions with indices and nested brackets, building to word problems that ask students to write and then evaluate their own expression. Solutions show full working, making the resources useful for relief teachers, parents supporting at home, and students self-checking.

Interactive Resources

Practice Questions

Tutero's order of operations resources cover both BODMAS (used across Australia and the UK) and PEMDAS (used across the US), with the same underlying rule explained in both forms. Teachers can use the worked solutions to model thinking aloud, then hand students structured exercises to consolidate the sequence.

Structured Solutions

Differentiated Questions

Worksheets, slides and question banks present problems that start with two operations and build to expressions with brackets, indices, division and multi-step subtraction. Students get repeated practice applying BODMAS or PEMDAS until the sequence becomes automatic, ready for both classwork and exam-style questions.

Real-World Applications

Engaging Exercises

These resources move students from simple problems with two operations to multi-step expressions that mix brackets, indices, division and subtraction. Differentiated questions let teachers stretch confident students with parenthetical and nested expressions while supporting students still building fluency.

What is covered in the order of operations resources?

Complete Coverage of BODMAS and PEMDAS

Year-Level Progression from Grade 5 to Grade 10

Worked Solutions and Differentiated Practice

These resources teach the order of operations in both forms students encounter — BODMAS (Brackets, Orders, Division/Multiplication, Addition/Subtraction) used in Australia and the UK, and PEMDAS (Parentheses, Exponents, Multiplication/Division, Addition/Subtraction) used in the US. The same underlying rule sits behind both, and the resources make that connection explicit so students can apply it confidently in any classroom, textbook or exam they encounter.

Lesson plans, worksheets and slides are sequenced so each year level builds on the last. Years and Grades 5 and 6 focus on two- and three-operation problems with single brackets and no indices. Years and Grades 7 and 8 introduce indices, negatives and nested brackets. Years and Grades 9 and 10 apply the order of operations inside algebraic expressions, scientific notation, and substitution problems — the same sequence, applied to more complex inputs.

Every worksheet and question bank ships with full worked solutions, so teachers can model thinking aloud or hand them straight to students for self-checking. Questions are differentiated across three tiers — foundation, core and extension — making the resources usable across a mixed-ability class without needing to rewrite tasks for each group.
