What does Sally’s “gradual release model” entail? 

• Each of Sally’s packets follow an “I Do, We Do, You Do” format.  A math concept is introduced whole group, students then practice with a partner, and finish with independent work time.  This deliberate scaffolding keeps students from feeling defeated or frustrated! 
• Sally’s packets also build slowly in difficulty.  We meet students where they are, regardless of level.  As students gain confidence, the problems get progressively harder.  Not all students will complete all problems and that is by design!  
• Each packet finishes with a “Challenge Page” for anyone who needs something extra!

What type of problems can I expect in this Evaluating Expressions lesson? 

• Students evaluate a variety of numerical expressions using order of operations.  The expressions include parentheses and the four basic operations but do not include exponents (in alignment with the 5th grade standard). 
• The expressions start with 2 operations and no parentheses and slowly build to expressions involving parentheses and 4-5 operations. 
• Each page of this packet includes a handy PEMDAS reminder, including the MD and AS on the same line to remind students that these operations go from left to right.  
• These PEMDAS notes also include an error analysis section where students must examine work containing a mistake involving PEMDAS and must explain the error in their own words.  
• Note- this lesson does not include problems with exponents.  If that is what you need, here is a 6th grade version of the same lesson: Evaluating Expressions with Order of Operations Worksheets (INCLUDES EXPONENTS!)

In addition to the deliberate scaffolding, these Order of Operations worksheets include an instructional guide jam-packed with teaching hacks and best practices.  There is also a “Misconceptions” section that allows you to be one step ahead of mistakes students are most likely to make.

These Order of Operations worksheets are common core aligned to 5th Grade standard 5.OA.1: Evaluating Expressions using PEMDAS (no exponents).
