Fifth Grade Math Worksheets

Fifth Grade Math Curriculum: What Students Will Learn

Common Core Math Standards for 5th-grade students cover writing and interpreting numerical expressions; analyzing patterns and relationships; understanding the place-value system; performing operations with multi-digit whole numbers and decimals to the hundredths; using equivalent fractions as a strategy to add and subtract fractions; applying and extending previous understandings of multiplication and division to multiply and divide fractions; converting measurement units within a given system; representing and interpreting data; understanding concepts of volume and relating volume to multiplication and addition; graphing points on the coordinate plane to solve real-world and mathematical problems; and classifying two-dimensional figures into categories based on their properties.

Fifth-grade students will study fractions and decimals in particular and deepen their understanding of whole numbers, problem-solving, and using calculators. Students will review multi-digit multiplication, and they will learn long division with two-digit divisors. Calculator use may be allowed for operations involving large numbers, and students will be introduced to the idea of an equation and what it means to solve one. Fifth grade is the year that students will learn all the basic mathematical operations with decimals: addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division of decimals by whole numbers, and then later by decimals.

One of the most difficult topics for your fifth grader's math class this year is adding and subtracting unlike fractions-using the strategy of equivalent fractions by converting them to fractions with a common denominator.

Math in the fifth grade is challenging for even the brightest students, and these worksheets will provide invaluable practice for your entire class. They're quick and easy to print, and the fifth-grade worksheets cover basic skills in the four mathematical operations and provide imaginative ways for students to master critical thinking, algebra, geometry, graphs with analysis, and many other subjects that are vital for their future success in math. No prep for teachers, no boredom for students! Talk about a win-win!
