Order of Operations Activities Bundle

Order of Operations Activities Bundle

The following 6 resources are included in this bundle. Click the links to get a more detailed description and preview of each individual activity.

1) Order of Operations Pyramid Sum Puzzle: Students complete a set of problems using the Order of Operations, then build a pyramid so that each solution is the sum of the solutions directly above it.

2) Order of Operations "Cross-Number" Puzzle: Students work the problems and complete a puzzle that is similar to a cross-word puzzle, but with numbers.

3) Order of Operations "Triples" Activity: These are 30 cards in which students use the order of operations in order to simplify. There are three cards with the same answer. I have them staple their "triples" together and put them in a bag.

4) Order of Operations "Pluggin' Away" Relay: Students complete a stations relay to practice the order of operations. Each station will require them to fill in a box with the answer to the previous station. This places a huge emphasis on accuracy!

5) Order of Operations "Spin to Win": This is a very dynamic Power Point game that is used with a Smart Board. Students click on the center of the wheel to start, let it go around a few times, then touch the center to stop. They select that dollar amount from the column on the left. If there is a repeat, I created a few questions per dollar amount, so they just click "next" to move to the next question. When you click “Answer”, the answer is revealed for them to check their work. I also included a worksheet for them to write down and solve the problems as they play the game.

Note – if you don’t have a Smart Board, this game can be played through a computer connected to a projector. Students would come up to the computer and use the mouse to click on the center to start/stop.

6) Order of Operations "Math Lib" Activity!: Students choose expressions to simplify at 9 different stations, and create a story along the way.
