FAQ

Is it PEMDAS or BODMAS?

Both describe the same order. Multiplication and division share a rank, as do addition and subtraction; work each pair left to right.

Is every worksheet different?

Yes. Numbers are generated each time, and the answer key is calculated for that sheet. Swap any single question and its answer updates too.

Can I mix order of operations with other skills?

Yes. In the generator, add more skills; each gets its own section on the sheet with its own instructions.

Is it free to print?

Yes. Generating and printing from the browser is free with no sign-up. PDF downloads need a free account.
