Create a comprehensive review packet of worksheets focused on developing fifth-grade students' mastery of the order of operations (PEMDAS/BODMAS) using only numerical expressions without variables. The packet should progressively build complexity from simple two-operation problems to multi-step expressions involving all four operations, parentheses, and exponents, ensuring students can systematically apply the correct sequence of operations. Include varied problem formats such as fill-in-the-bla...

This resource focuses on mastering the order of operations known as PEMDAS (Parentheses, Exponents, Multiplication and Division from left to right, Addition and Subtraction from left to right). It includes a systematic approach to evaluating increasingly complex numerical expressions while justifying each problem-solving step. Key memory strategies are provided to help retain the order of operations, along with worked examples and practice problems. Students engage in step-by-step evaluations, error analyses of common mistakes, and activities to make expressions true by identifying appropriate operations or numbers. The goal is to develop a thorough understanding of the process to enhance their mathematical skills.
