Questions

What should a child know by the end of 5th grade?

Most fifth graders finish the year able to add, subtract, multiply and divide decimals, add and subtract fractions with unlike denominators, multiply fractions, find the volume of a rectangular prism, plot points on a coordinate plane, summarize and compare texts, and write organized essays that support an opinion with reasons and evidence.

How can I help my child with decimals?

Start with the place value charts so the tenths, hundredths and thousandths places are clear, then line up the decimal points for adding and subtracting. For multiplying, multiply as whole numbers and count the decimal places in the factors. Estimating first is a quick way to check that the decimal point is in the right place.

Are there answer keys?

Yes. Every page with one right answer has an answer key on its last page, so you can check work quickly.

Can I print these for my whole class?

Yes. Print as many copies as you need for your class or family. Every PDF comes in US Letter and A4.
