Order of Operations Checker

Order-of-operations mistakes are common because the expression may contain several correct-looking moves. This checker evaluates the expression using the standard order: parentheses first, then exponents, then multiplication and division from left to right, and finally addition and subtraction from left to right. Enter the arithmetic expression and the student’s final answer.

Use * for multiplication, / for division, and ^ for exponents. The checker does not use an AI model or send the expression anywhere; it parses and evaluates the expression locally. The result shows the expected value so students can compare their final answer with the correct evaluation. It is best for checking the final value of a single expression. If you want feedback on each handwritten simplification line, the photo checker below can review the full work and identify the first incorrect step.
