Frequently asked questions
Why does the 5th grade pack review 4th grade math?
A substitute cannot know where a 5th grade class is in the book, and a teacher who is out sick often cannot say. Math from 4th grade is safe on any day of the year: the students have met it, so no one has to be taught anything new.
Can I change what is in the 5th grade pack?
Each activity is a page from this site: Multiplying by One-Digit Numbers, Mixed Operation Word Problems, Spiral Review Worksheets and Color by Number Multiplication. Open one from the list, change its number ranges or how many problems it has, and print it on its own. The pack itself stays as it is, so a substitute always finds the same four kinds of activity.
