EQ: How can I evaluate expressions with grouping symbols?
5.OA.1 – Use parentheses, brackets, or braces in numerical expressions, and
evaluate expressions with these symbols.
Notes:
Remember, you can use the order of operations to evaluate an expression
with grouping symbols.
 First do the operations in parentheses ()
 Then brackets []
 Then braces {}
Example—
8 x {3 + [5 – (3 – 2)]}
8 x {3 + [5 – 1]}
8 x {3 + 4}
8x7

Let’s work one together:
** Remember to use the order of operations to solve, working what is
inside the grouping symbols first. **
[(2 + 3) x 8] ÷ 2
1.Do the operations in
the Parentheses.
2.Do the operations in
the Brackets.
3.Multiply and Divide
from Left to Right.
