What this skill builds
These Grade 4 math worksheets help children solve six-number expressions that combine addition, subtraction, multiplication, division, and parentheses. Students practise deciding what to calculate first, then rewriting each step clearly so the value of the expression stays accurate.
The printable activities include mixed operation problems where parentheses change the order, multiplication and division must be handled before addition and subtraction, and left-to-right thinking matters. They are useful for independent practice, review, math centers, or homework.
Six-number expressions give Grade 4 learners a careful bridge from basic facts to multi-step mathematical reasoning. A problem may include all four operations, such as a parenthesized part, a multiplication fact, a division fact, and then addition or subtraction. Children learn that an expression is not solved simply from the first number to the last.
Order students should follow
These worksheets reinforce a clear sequence: solve inside parentheses first, then complete multiplication and division from left to right, and finally complete addition and subtraction from left to right. The left-to-right rule is important because multiplication does not always come before division, and addition does not always come before subtraction.
Parent routine for home practice
Choose two or three problems and ask your child to circle the parentheses, underline multiplication or division, and place a small dot under addition or subtraction signs. Have them solve only one part, rewrite the whole expression on the next line, and check whether the remaining numbers and signs were copied correctly. End by asking, “What rule told you to do that step?”
Classroom uses for teachers
Teachers can use these pages for order-of-operations warm-ups, small-group reteaching, partner checks, or exit tickets after a lesson on parentheses. They also work well in centers because students can compare step-by-step work, not just final answers. For extra challenge, ask students to explain how the answer would change if the parentheses moved.
Common errors to watch for
Many mistakes come from ignoring parentheses, solving strictly left to right, or doing all multiplication before all division even when division appears first. Students may also drop a number while rewriting, change a subtraction sign into addition, or calculate a basic fact correctly but place it in the wrong step.

Why iBloom worksheets help
The practice is focused on one demanding Grade 4 skill: six-number expressions with all four operations and parentheses. The format encourages children to slow down, mark the expression, and show organized steps. A child-friendly strategy is: “Parentheses first, strong operations next, gentle operations last—each pair moves left to right.”
Helpful answers
Frequently asked questions
What do students practise on these Grade 4 worksheets?
Students practise evaluating six-number expressions that use parentheses plus addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division. They learn to choose the correct first step and continue in an organized order.
Should multiplication always be done before division?
No. Multiplication and division have the same priority, so students solve them from left to right after any parentheses are completed.
How can my child avoid losing track in long expressions?
Encourage your child to mark the expression first, solve one operation at a time, and rewrite the entire expression after each step. This helps prevent skipped numbers and changed signs.
Are these worksheets suitable for math centers?
Yes. They are useful for centers because students can solve independently, then compare step-by-step work with a partner or teacher.
Why are parentheses included in these problems?
Parentheses show that a part of the expression must be solved first. They help students understand that grouping can change the value of a multi-step expression.
Is this grade 4 order of operations worksheets with parentheses free?
Yes. You can preview it for free and use the printable worksheet for home or classroom practice.
Can I download this grade 4 order of operations worksheets with parentheses as a PDF?
Yes. Use the worksheet download option to save a printable PDF, or print the worksheet directly from the page.
