Let's solve each expression in the
Order of Operations Practice grid step by step using the
PEMDAS rule:
-
Parentheses
-
Exponents
-
Multiplication and
Division (from left to right)
-
Addition and
Subtraction (from left to right)
We'll go through each cell one by one.

Top Left:
$$
3 + [(9 ÷ 3) \cdot 2] + [(2 \cdot 6) ÷ 3]
$$
1. Inside parentheses:
- $9 ÷ 3 = 3$
- $3 \cdot 2 = 6$
- $2 \cdot 6 = 12$
- $12 ÷ 3 = 4$
2. Now substitute:
$$
3 + 6 + 4 = 13
$$
✔ Answer: 13

Top Right:
$$
[(3 + 9) ÷ (3 \cdot 2)] + [(2 \cdot 6) ÷ 3]
$$
1. Parentheses:
- $3 + 9 = 12$
- $3 \cdot 2 = 6$
- $2 \cdot 6 = 12$
2. Division:
- $12 ÷ 6 = 2$
- $12 ÷ 3 = 4$
3. Add:
$$
2 + 4 = 6
$$
✔ Answer: 6
---
Middle Left:
$$
(3 + 9) ÷ [(3 \cdot 2 + 2 \cdot 6) ÷ 3]
$$
1. Numerator: $3 + 9 = 12$
2. Denominator:
- $3 \cdot 2 = 6$
- $2 \cdot 6 = 12$
- $6 + 12 = 18$
- $18 ÷ 3 = 6$
3. Divide:
$$
12 ÷ 6 = 2
$$
✔ Answer: 2
---
Middle Right:
$$
(3 + 9 ÷ 3 \cdot 2) + (2 \cdot 6 ÷ 3)
$$
Note: No parentheses around $9 ÷ 3 \cdot 2$, so follow left-to-right for multiplication/division.
1. First part: $3 + 9 ÷ 3 \cdot 2$
- $9 ÷ 3 = 3$
- $3 \cdot 2 = 6$
- $3 + 6 = 9$
2. Second part: $2 \cdot 6 ÷ 3$
- $2 \cdot 6 = 12$
- $12 ÷ 3 = 4$
3. Add:
$$
9 + 4 = 13
$$
✔ Answer: 13

Bottom Left (Row 3, Col 1):
$$
[(3 + 9) ÷ 3 \cdot 2 + 2] \cdot (6 ÷ 3)
$$
1. Inside brackets:
- $3 + 9 = 12$
- $12 ÷ 3 = 4$
- $4 \cdot 2 = 8$
- $8 + 2 = 10$
2. Outside: $6 ÷ 3 = 2$
3. Multiply:
$$
10 \cdot 2 = 20
$$
✔ Answer: 20
---
Bottom Right (Row 3, Col 2):
$$
[(3 + 9 ÷ 3) \cdot 2] + (2 \cdot 6 ÷ 3)
$$
1. Inside first bracket:
- $9 ÷ 3 = 3$
- $3 + 3 = 6$
- $6 \cdot 2 = 12$
2. Second part:
- $2 \cdot 6 = 12$
- $12 ÷ 3 = 4$
3. Add:
$$
12 + 4 = 16
$$
✔ Answer: 16
---
Bottom Left (Row 4, Col 1):
$$
[3 + (9 ÷ 3) \cdot (2 + 2)] \cdot (6 ÷ 3)
$$
1. Inside:
- $9 ÷ 3 = 3$
- $2 + 2 = 4$
- $3 \cdot 4 = 12$
- $3 + 12 = 15$
2. $6 ÷ 3 = 2$
3. Multiply:
$$
15 \cdot 2 = 30
$$
✔ Answer: 30
---
Bottom Right (Row 4, Col 2):
$$
(3 + 9) ÷ 3 \cdot 2 + [(2 \cdot 6) ÷ 3]
$$
1. $3 + 9 = 12$
- $12 ÷ 3 = 4$
- $4 \cdot 2 = 8$
2. $2 \cdot 6 = 12$
- $12 ÷ 3 = 4$
3. Add:
$$
8 + 4 = 12
$$
✔ Answer: 12
