Printable 5th grade worksheets

Ten and eleven: percentages, negative numbers, the order of operations, and the first equations with a letter in them. Wide ruled paper is running out of usefulness and college ruled starts to make sense.

Where to start

Three worth printing this week, out of everything below.

Everything for ages 10 and 11

96 sheets across 10 shelves, and each of them is a page that is itself the sheet — open it, press print, and that is the whole of it.

Math

Worksheets from adding to twenty through to word problems, each with its answer key on the page behind it.

Handwriting

Letters traced, then copied, then written on an empty line — the same three steps at every size of ruling.

Cursive

The same progression again in a joined hand, including the page printing never needed — the joins themselves.

Penmanship

For the child who can form every letter and still hands in a page nobody can read: strokes, sizes, spaces, judging your own work, and the alphabet against the clock.

Bible

Scripture copywork, handwriting and memory work: the sheets above with a passage on them, in a public-domain translation.

Spelling

This week’s list in five shapes, the first sight words, and the pages on how words are put together.

Grammar

How a sentence is put together — the parts of speech, its two halves, what it is for, and the marks that finish it.

Charts and grids

References with nothing on them to answer: hundred charts, number lines, coordinate grids and place-value columns.

Forms and planners

The paperwork a week needs — logs, reports, calendars, charts, certificates and cards. Supposed to be empty.

Paper

Ruled paper by the sheet: notebook rules, the five handwriting sizes, and squares, dots and triangles.

What fifth grade means on this page

The ages come off each sheet, not off a standard we do not have.

This is where arithmetic turns into algebra without announcing it. An equation with a letter in it is a sum with the answer moved, the order of operations is a rule about reading rather than about numbers, and integers are the first quantity a child meets that cannot be counted out on a table. Each of those has a sheet of its own here, and each prints its own key.

The paper changes with the work. College ruled is nine thirty-seconds of an inch against wide ruled’s eleven, which is about six more lines to the page — the difference between fitting a paragraph and running out of room. If handwriting is still growing into the line, print the wide ruled sheet instead: narrow rules do not make writing neater, they make a child write smaller than they can control.

No sheet on this site is assigned to a school year. Each one states the ages it was drawn for on its own page — Ages 8–11 on the division worksheet, because that is who those numbers suit — and this page collects the sheets whose stated ages reach 10 or 11, which is where most children are in fifth grade. So the same sheet appears on two or three of these pages, and that is the honest answer rather than a lapse: a sheet for nine to twelve belongs to the fourth-grader and the seventh-grader both.

If your child is working a year either side of their class, the neighboring page is the one to use and nothing here will disagree with you about it. Curriculum and grade levels differ by state, by country and by family, and a worksheet site that told you otherwise would be inventing a standard to sound authoritative.

The rest of the Print Shop

Ten shelves and ten school years, over the same sheets. A shelf is what a sheet is; a year is who it was drawn for, which every sheet states on its own page.

Your child’s name is not in the file

Where a sheet has a Name: line at all, it is printed blank and filled in with a pencil. Nothing is uploaded to make one, no account is needed to print one, and a sheet you send to another family carries the settings you chose and nothing else — see what we don’t collect.
