Free Math Word Problem Worksheets for Fifth-Graders

  • Worksheets By Grade
  • Math Tutorials
  • Pre Algebra & Algebra
  • Exponential Decay

Fifth-grade math students may have memorized multiplication facts in earlier grades, but by this point, they need to understand how to interpret and solve word problems. Word problems are important in math because they help students develop real-world thinking, apply several math concepts simultaneously, and think creatively, notes  ThinksterMath . Word problems also help teachers evaluate their students' true understanding of math.

Fifth-grade word problems include multiplication, division, fractions, averages, and a variety of other math concepts. Section Nos. 1 and 3 provide free worksheets students can use to practice and hone their skills with word problems. Section Nos. 2 and 4 provide the corresponding answer keys to those worksheets for ease of grading.

Math Word Problems Mix

Print the PDF:   Math Word Problems Mix

This worksheet provides a nice mix of problems, including questions that require students to exhibit their skills in multiplication, division, working with dollar amounts, creative reasoning, and finding the average. Help your fifth-grade students see that word problems don't have to be daunting by going over at least one problem with them.

For example, problem No. 1 asks:

"During the summer holidays, your brother earns extra money mowing lawns. He mows six lawns an hour and has 21 lawns to mow. How long will it take him?"

The brother would have to be Superman to mow six lawns an hour. Nevertheless, since this is what the problem specifies, explain to students that they should first define what they know and what they want to determine:

  • Your brother can mow six lawns an hour.
  • He has 21 lawns to mow.

To solve the problem, explain to students that they should write it as two fractions:

6 lawns/hour = 21 lawns/x hours

Then they should cross multiply. To do this, take the first fraction's numerator (top number) and multiply it by the second fraction's denominator (bottom number). Then take the second fraction's numerator and multiply it by the first fraction's denominator, as follows:

6x = 21 hours

Next, divide each side by  6  to solve for  x:

6x/6 = 21 hours/6 x = 3.5 hours

So, your hard-working brother would need only 3.5 hours to mow 21 lawns. He's a speedy gardener.

Math Word Problems Mix: Solutions

Print the PDF:  Math Word Problems Mix: Solutions

This worksheet provides the solutions to the problems students worked in the printable from slide No. 1. If you see that students are struggling after they turn in their work, show them how to work a problem or two.

For example, problem No. 6 is actually just a simple division problem:

"Your mom bought you a one-year swimming pass for $390. She’s making 12 payments of how much money to pay for the pass?"

Explain that, to solve this problem, you simply divide the cost of a one-year swimming pass,  $390 , by the number of payments,  12 , as follows:

$390/12 = $32.50

Thus, the cost of each monthly payment that your mom makes is $32.50. Be sure to thank your mom.

More Math Word Problems

Print the PDF:  More Math Word Problems

This worksheet contains problems that are a bit more challenging than those on the previous printable. For example, problem No. 1 states:

"Four friends are eating personal pan pizzas. Jane has 3/4 left, Jill has 3/5 left, Cindy has 2/3 left and Jeff has 2/5 left. Who has the most amount of pizza left?"

Explain that you first need to find the lowest common denominator (LCD), the bottom number in each fraction, to solve this problem. To find the LCD, first multiply the different denominators:

4 x 5 x 3 = 60

Then, multiply the numerator and denominator by the number needed for each to create a common denominator. (Remember that any number divided by itself is one.) So you would have:

  • Jane: 3/4 x 15/15 = 45/60
  • Jill: 3/5 x 12/12 = 36/60
  • Cindy: 2/3 x 20/20 = 40/60
  • Jeff: 2/5 x 12/12 = 24/60

Jane has the most pizza left: 45/60, or three-fourths. She'll have plenty to eat tonight.

If students are still struggling to come up with the right answers, it's time for a few different strategies. Consider going over all of the problems on the board and showing students how to solve them. Alternatively, break students up into groups—either three or six groups, depending on how many students you have. Then have each group solve one or two problems as you circulate around the room to help. Working together can help students think creatively as they mull over a problem or two; often, as a group, they may arrive at a solution even if they struggled to solve the problems independently.

Description

This multiplying and dividing multi-digit numbers project-based learning (PBL) workbook uses word problems to engage students in fun math activities! These printable and digital math activities are ideal for 4th-grade and 5th-grade students, or any students who are currently working on multi-digit multiplication and division. In these 10 content-rich math tasks, students embark on an immersive and engaging jungle safari by solving word problems in a fun real-world context.

This Resource Includes:

  • 10 independent PBL activities (5 fun themes) with a mix of multi-digit multiplication and division word problems and fluency practice.
  • Digital Version: Google Slides Digital Student Workbook (Google Classroom Ready!)- Students type directly on slides WITH a few fun interactive drag-and-drop activities!
  • Printable student workbook in full color and black and white.
  • Answer keys for all student workbook assignments.

*NOTE: This resource is almost exactly the same as the Multiplying and Dividing Decimals Safari in my TPT store- choose the one that best meets the needs of your students, you won't need both!

How to use this resource in your classroom:

  • Print a copy of the workbook for each student, OR assign the Google Slides workbook digitally.

  • Use this AFTER you have learned multiplication and division of decimals with your students. This is great for independent practice!

Activity Variations:

  • Perfect for independent center activities (digital or printable).
  • Stretch it out over 5 days (one theme of 2 activities per day) or do it all at once. Each theme will take approximately 15-20 minutes to complete (or about 90 min. for the entire workbook).
  • Complete these tasks in partners or small groups to allow for student discussion.
  • Complete tasks in a teacher-led small group to guide students who may be struggling.
  • Leave this workbook for students to do with a substitute teacher !

How will this resource benefit my students?

  • Project-based learning is an engaging way to allow students to attempt challenging math concepts.
  • Students practice independently reading instructions and completing math activities.
  • Give students real-world context to increase problem-solving skills.

How will this resource benefit me?
