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 mixed math questions 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 comparing fractions and decimals, 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, centers, or a back to school math activity.
