Parentheses: Add & Subtract

Students combine their understanding of addition and subtraction within parenthesis. This worksheet mixes both operations, requiring students to carefully identify what is inside the parenthesis and apply the correct operation first. Problems include various formats: (a + b) - c, (a - b) + c, and a - (b + c). This comprehensive practice solidifies the parenthesis-first rule before moving to more advanced order of operations concepts.
