Order of Operations with Exponents and Radicals: Sample FAST Questions

Multi-step order of operations in 8th grade adds exponents and roots to the mix, as in (−1/2)^2 + √(2^3 + 8). Expressions run up to six steps and use rational numbers throughout, including negative and fractional bases.

How the FAST tests this benchmark

The FAST uses equation editor items for the exact value and multiple choice items that turn on a single misplaced step. Radicands stay inside perfect squares up to 225 and perfect cubes from −125 to 125, so every root comes out to an integer.

Skills students need

  • Apply the order of operations with exponents
  • Evaluate square roots and cube roots inside a larger expression
  • Work with negative and fractional bases
  • Solve expressions of up to six steps
