Order of Operations: Multiply First

Students learn the critical rule that multiplication must be done before addition in order of operations. This worksheet introduces problems without parenthesis where students must identify the multiplication operation and complete it first, then add. Problems are presented in two formats: multiplication at the beginning (3 × 2 + 4) and multiplication in the middle (5 + 4 × 2). Clear step-by-step solutions reinforce the multiply-first rule.
