Order of Operations GridWords: Simplifying & Evaluating Expressions

Evaluating Expressions & Simplifying Expressions (Using Order of Operations) - Fun Practice / Review   This set of 6 differentiated worksheets offers a fun way for your students to practice simplifying expressions using order of operations (or "PEMDAS") and evaluating for variables.   **This resource is also available in a DISCOUNTED bundle: Expressions & Equations Bundle   If they shade/color all the simplified results correctly, a "GridWord" is revealed. Have your students act it out (sing, hop, etc.) or record it for a quick check.   The first 3 puzzles require students to simplify algebra expressions using order of operations (at different difficulty levels).   The next 3 puzzles require them to evaluate the expressions by plugging in for the variables, then simplify as well (at different difficulty levels).
