5th Grade Math End of Year Review Test by Teach Simple

About this resource

What's inside this resource

Thirty-three multiple-choice questions review core Grade 5 math skills for a year-end assessment, covering rectangular-prism volume (using unit cubes, area × height, and composite figures), classifying and comparing quadrilaterals, order of operations, place value with decimals, fraction operations including mixed-number subtraction, and multi-step word problems involving money, rope length, rainwater in quarts and gallons, and kilometer conversion. A separate two-page answer sheet gives students a numbered grid with space for both a final answer and work or explanation for each question. The test concludes with a full answer key listing the correct letter choice for all 33 questions.

Teaching tips & learning objectives

Learning objectives

Students calculate the volume of rectangular prisms and composite figures using unit cubes and the area × height method.
Students classify and compare properties of quadrilaterals, including trapezoids, parallelograms, rhombuses, and squares.
Students compare, round, and perform operations with decimals and fractions, including subtracting mixed numbers with unlike denominators.
Students solve multi-step word problems requiring unit conversion, such as quarts to gallons, yards to feet, and meters to kilometers.

Teaching tips

Use as a cumulative end-of-year review before a summative Grade 5 math assessment, since questions span volume, geometry, decimals, fractions, and word problems.
Have students record multi-step work on the separate answer sheet's 'work or explanation' column rather than in the margins of the question pages.
Group review sessions by skill cluster (e.g. questions 1–5 volume/geometry, questions 11–18 decimals) since the test moves between topics without section headers.

Skills covered

Volume calculation — students find the volume of rectangular prisms and composite figures built from unit cubes or given dimensions.
Quadrilateral classification — students identify which quadrilateral properties are always, sometimes, or never true (e.g. all rhombuses are squares is false).
Decimal and fraction operations — students compare decimal place values, round to the nearest hundredth, and subtract mixed numbers with unlike denominators.
Multi-step word problem solving — students apply unit conversion and arithmetic to real-world scenarios like grocery costs, rope lengths, and rainwater collection.

Curriculum

Standards, concepts & topics

Standards

5.MD.C.5 — Relate volume to the operations of multiplication and addition and solve real world and mathematical problems involving volume. a. Find the volume of a right rectangular prism with whole-number side lengths by packing it with unit cubes, and show that the volume is the same as would be found by multiplying the edge lengths, equivalently by multiplying the height by the area of the base. Represent threefold wholenumber products as volumes, e.g., to represent the associative property of multiplication. b. Apply the formulas V = l × w × h and V = b × h for rectangular prisms to find volumes of right rectangular prisms with whole-number edge lengths in the context of solving real world and mathematical problems. c. Recognize volume as additive. Find volumes of solid figures composed of two non-overlapping right rectangular prisms by adding the volumes of the non-overlapping parts, applying this technique to solve real world problems
5.G.B.4 — Classify two-dimensional figures in a hierarchy based on properties.
5.MD.A.1 — Convert among different-sized standard measurement units within a given measurement system (e.g., convert 5 cm to 0.05 m), and use these conversions in solving multi-step, real world problems.
