What strategies help students manage five-number parenthesis expressions?

Encourage students to underline or circle the parenthesized group first, solve it, rewrite the simplified expression, and then continue left to right.

Is this level appropriate for all 3rd graders?

Five-number expressions are best suited for students who have already mastered three- and four-number parenthesis problems and are ready for an extra challenge.

How can parents support practice at home?

Have your child read the expression aloud, identify what's inside the parentheses, and solve that portion on scratch paper before writing the final answer.
