Free Grade 5 Math Worksheets: 49 Printable PDFs with Answers

Download 49 free printable Grade 5 math worksheets with answer keys. Choose a skill in fractions, decimals, whole-number operations, measurement, volume or coordinate graphing. Each link opens a separate PDF, so you can print the practice you need.

For matching lessons and review tools, visit the Grade 5 Math Online Center. Looking for the earlier collection? The original 5th Grade Mathematics Worksheets page has a different set of files; both collections remain available.

How to download, print and check answers

All 49 files have three pages: page 1 combines a quick review, a worked example and practice; page 2 contains the answer key and explanations; page 3 is a book promotion. Print page 1 for student work and page 2 when you want the answers. You can leave page 3 out of the print range.

Open a topic link below, then use your PDF viewer’s download or print control. The individual PDFs open without an email signup or purchase. Keep the answer page separate until the student has tried the problems.

49 printable worksheets by skill

Choose a useful practice sequence

For fraction addition, begin with Finding Common Denominators, then try Adding Fractions with Unlike Denominators. For volume, use Understanding Volume and Unit Cubes before Volume of Rectangular Prisms. For decimals, check place value before moving to decimal operations.

Have the student explain one worked example, attempt a few questions independently, then compare the method with page 2. If an answer differs, identify the step that changed the result: a place-value column, common denominator, operation or unit. Review that step in the Grade 5 Online Center and try a similar problem. Adjust the amount of practice to the student rather than requiring every sheet in order.

Grade 5 scope and state assessments

The collection covers many topics in the Common Core Grade 5 overview, including fractions, decimal operations and volume. It also includes prerequisite review. A collection of topic worksheets does not establish complete coverage of every standard or state assessment. Match the selected skill to your school’s curriculum and your state education department’s current guidance.
