About these morning work for 5th graders worksheets

Morning work is a short page children can start on their own while the day gets going. Each of these 80 pages takes about 10 to 15 minutes and mixes a few quick skills with one word problem.

The weeks follow the 5th grade year: weeks 1 to 4 review place value, powers of 10 and decimals; weeks 5 to 8 practice multi-digit multiplication, long division with 2-digit divisors and expressions with brackets; weeks 9 to 12 add, subtract and multiply decimals; and weeks 13 to 16 divide decimals and review factors and exponents.

Every page has an answer key on page 2, so children can check their own work or a helper can mark it quickly.

Standards

  • CCSS.MATH.CONTENT.5.NBT.A.2Explain patterns in the number of zeros of the product when multiplying a number by powers of 10, and explain patterns in the placement of the decimal point when a decimal is multiplied or divided by a power of 10. Use whole-number exponents to denote powers of 10.
  • CCSS.MATH.CONTENT.5.NBT.B.5Fluently multiply multi-digit whole numbers using the standard algorithm.
  • CCSS.MATH.CONTENT.5.NBT.B.6Find whole-number quotients of whole numbers with up to four-digit dividends and two-digit divisors, using strategies based on place value, the properties of operations, and/or the relationship between multiplication and division. Illustrate and explain the calculation by using equations, rectangular arrays, and/or area models.
  • CCSS.MATH.CONTENT.5.NBT.B.7Add, subtract, multiply, and divide decimals to hundredths, using concrete models or drawings and strategies based on place value, properties of operations, and/or the relationship between addition and subtraction; relate the strategy to a written method and explain the reasoning used.
  • CCSS.MATH.CONTENT.5.OA.A.1Use parentheses, brackets, or braces in numerical expressions, and evaluate expressions with these symbols.

How to use them

  1. Print a week at a time and keep the pages in a folder.
  2. Go over the word problem together at the end of morning work.
  3. Use the key to spot skills that need a full practice page.

Teaching tips

  • Let children skip a part and come back to it, so one hard item does not stop the whole page.
  • Ask for an estimate on decimal problems before the exact answer.
