5th Grade Math Test Practice and Preparation Packets

Worksheets from Math-Drills.com

Math worksheets are readily available on the Internet and can help your child prepare for tests. These free, printable worksheets can give your child more test practice than what is provided in the classroom. This site has worksheets for many 5th grade topics, including long division, fractions and decimals. All of the worksheets offered here come with answer keys.

These worksheets are very simple and unadorned, so they may be especially helpful for students who are easily distracted when faced with a lot of sounds or flashing images. The site is organized according to topic, rather than grade level. To determine which of these exercises are best suited to your child's level, check his or her school math book and then compare the worksheets to the homework assignments at the end of each chapter.

Soft Schools' 5th Grade Test Prep

Here, you'll find both online and printable math resources. Your child can practice with fractions, decimals, multiplication, exponents, ratios and proportions. The online problems are located in the area labeled 'games'. You can select the number of rows and columns that will appear as well as the font type and size.

The online problems are corrected automatically as you enter in answers, and the printable worksheets come with answer keys. Some of the games come with visual displays or interactive graphics - the geometry section in particular features these elements.

Houghton Mifflin's Practice Problems

Your child can also complete the online test prep practice provided from EduPlace.com. The practice here aligns with the Houghton Mifflin textbook; however, even if your child has a different textbook, you should be able to find exercises that cover the same topics. Click on a link to the specific chapter your child needs help with, and then let him or her complete the online problems. At any time, clicking on 'check my answer' will let your child know how it's going.
