Grade 6 Mixed Operations Worksheets
The grade 6 mixed operations sequence is about order of operations with exponents and multi-digit work in all four operations, and these five sheets cover it format by format, three versions each.
What the grade 6 mixed operations sheets cover
Grade 6 mixed operations comes in five formats (problem counts in brackets): drill (30, straight practice), timed drill (60, timed fluency), missing number (24, find the blank), mixed review (30, mixed shapes), and word problems (10, stories). Set A uses numbers from 1 to 1,543, 5 column problems that regroup, and 2 with negative values. Problem types: order of operations with exponents, all four operations with multi-digit numbers, and mixed multiplication and division facts, plus two more. All five come as Sets A, B and C with answer keys, 154 problems per set from 10 to 60 a sheet. From the Set A drill, problem 11: "(2 + 9)²" (answer 121). Common Core: 3.OA.7, 6.EE.1, and 6.NS.3.

The drill has 30 problems, two of them regrouping (problem 11: "(2 + 9)²"). The timed drill has 60 problems, numbers to 144 (problem 21: "120 ÷ 10"). The missing number has 24 problems, numbers to 1,543 (problem 9: "95 ÷ ___ = 19"). The mixed review has 30 problems, three of them regrouping (problem 11: "3 × 4 - 97"). The word problems has 10 problems, story problems (problem 4: "A movie theater sold tickets for $10 each. At the end of…").
Across the five sheets the generator draws on order of operations with exponents, all four operations with multi-digit numbers, mixed multiplication and division facts, expressions with parentheses, and two-step expressions. The pages are tagged to Common Core 6.EE.1, 3.OA.7, and 6.NS.3, and each tag links to the standards index.
If this level is not landing, step to grade 5 mixed operations, where the focus is order of operations with parentheses and multi-digit computation; if it is too easy, grade 6 moves on to order of operations with exponents and multi-digit work in all four operations.
Start with the grade 6 mixed operations drill to see whether the method is in place, use the timed drill only once accuracy is there, and save the word problems for the point where the student can compute without thinking about it.
