Try some 5th Grade questions
These are the kind of questions in the check. Every check has fresh numbers, so your child will not have seen them before.
Numerical representations and relationships
Which number is a factor of 42?
- 12
- 14
- 11
- 8
Show the answer
14. 14 × 3 = 42, so 14 is a factor of 42.
Computations and algebraic relationships
3.5 + 3.21 = ?
- 6.71
- 6.81
- 3.82
- 3.56
Show the answer
6.71. Line up the decimal points: 3.50 + 3.21 = 6.71.
Geometry and measurement
A room is 11 ft long and 14 ft wide. What is its area?
Show the answer
154 ft². 11 × 14 = 154 square feet.
