Operative priorities: corrected 5th grade math exercises.

Priorities of operations with corrected 5th grade math exercises on the priorities of operations between addition, subtraction, multiplication and division.
In fifth grade, we learned to work with numbers and to perform mathematical operations such as addition, subtraction, multiplication and division. We also studied operative priorities, which are rules that tell us in what order to perform these operations to get the correct result.Operative priorities are rules that tell us the order in which we should perform the mathematical operations in an expression.More complex calculations on priorities with nested parentheses.
Develop math skills with these corrected exercises on operative priorities that are similar to those in your textbook. In the plane, the student must know how to place a point knowing its coordinates with its abscissa and ordinate.
