5th Grade - Find Someone Who | Back to School Math Review

The visible directions frame the work as a review of prior Grade 4 standards for students entering Grade 5. During each exchange, classmates switch papers, solve a mixed mathematics prompt, compare reasoning, and initial after agreement. Two activity sheets draw across prior-year number, operation, fraction, measurement, and problem-solving skills rather than one narrow strand. The circulation routine doubles as informal prerequisite evidence, and the completed pages support whole-class review afterward.

About this resource

5th Grade - Find Someone Who | Back to School Math Review This back to school math review allows 5th grade students to refresh their math skills from the previous year while getting to know new classmates. Students are given a worksheet with 16 word problems spanning skills learned in 4th grade. They must find a classmate who can solve each problem, check the work, and have the classmate initial to show they solved it correctly. With two versions included, students will sharpen skills like adding/subtracting fractions, finding area and perimeter, interpreting graphs, and more. This resource provides an engaging way for 5th graders to review essential math concepts individually or in small groups at the start of the school year. Answer keys are provided to check work. Use it for morning work, centres, or a back to school math activity.
