The top of elementary school
Fifth grade ties all of elementary math together. Kids add and subtract fractions with unlike denominators, like 1/2 + 1/3 = 5/6, multiply fractions, and work with decimals to the thousandths using all four operations. They divide with two-digit divisors, find the volume of boxes with V = l × w × h, plot points on a coordinate plane and use order of operations. In reading, they quote a text accurately and compare two texts on the same topic. Science brings physical and chemical changes, cells and ecosystems, and social studies dives into early American history.
Fifth graders are getting ready for middle school. These moves build the independence and confidence they'll need.
Once kids can add and subtract decimals, stop giving them pages of only one operation. Mix in adding, subtracting and money word problems so they have to line up the decimal points and decide what to do. That choice is the real skill.
Why it works: mixing different kinds of problems in one practice set helped students do far better on a later test (Rohrer and Taylor, 2007).
Try it withAdd/Subtract Decimals WorksheetWorksheetsOpen it →Hand out cubes and have kids build a box that's 4 long, 3 wide and 2 tall, then count the cubes. Do it twice more, and ask them to find a shortcut. When they discover length times width times height themselves, they never forget it. Sketch the next ones on graph paper.
Why it works: kids understand an idea best when they touch it, then draw it, then write it, the order the U.S. Department of Education recommends for elementary math.

Why it works: words set to a repeating melody are easier to recall than the same words spoken (Wallace, 1994).

Fifth graders add, subtract and multiply fractions, divide unit fractions, and use decimals to the thousandths in all four operations. They also divide by two-digit numbers, find volume, graph on a coordinate plane and use order of operations.
Find a common denominator first, then rewrite each fraction and add the numerators. For 1/2 + 1/3, both become sixths: 3/6 + 2/6 = 5/6. Fraction strips or drawings help kids see why it works.
Make sure fractions, decimals and multiplication facts are solid, because middle school math builds on them every day. Give kids practice planning longer assignments and reading nonfiction closely. A little daily review beats cramming.
Common 5th grade science topics include physical and chemical changes in matter, plant and animal cells, ecosystems and food webs, and Earth and space. Exact topics depend on your state.
Yes! Every worksheet prints as a PDF, and many come with matching songs, videos, activities and assessments so you can teach a whole skill from one spot.
