Printable word problem exercises for 5th grade
In 5th grade, math word problems become more complex and require deeper thinking: students must understand a problem statement, extract useful data, choose the right operations, and structure a clear answer. To support this skill development, we provide worksheets designed to help them progress steadily.
Each worksheet, available in PDF, allows practice at home or in class with a variety of situations: sharing, measurements, conversions, time, or multi-step problems.
These exercises build on 3rd grade word problems and 4th grade, introducing greater complexity while keeping instructions clear and accessible.
Designed to strengthen logic, independence, and rigor, these math exercises offer structured practice that builds confidence and helps students tackle each 5th grade problem more effectively.
An example of a 5th grade word problem to do at home
Tackling word problems in 5th grade doesn’t always require a notebook or worksheet: simple daily situations can become real training. For example, ask your child: “If a recipe requires 3 eggs for 4 people, how many are needed for 8 people?” or “If a book costs 12 euros, how much would 3 cost, and what change would you get from 50 euros?”
You can also create mini-problems as a math game game, with cards to draw: each presents a small challenge to solve in several steps (buying, sharing, calculating time or distance).
Integrated into daily life, these activities develop students’ analytical skills, logic, and ability to formulate a solution methodically.
The math app to practice word problems in 5th grade
To progress effectively with word problems in 5th grade, the myBlee Math math application is an interactive and engaging tool. Designed for elementary students, it offers didactic exercises adapted to the 5th grade level, focusing on understanding statements, selecting key data, and applying the right operations.
With guided voiceover support, the student is walked step by step through each problem. They can practice independently, get immediate feedback, and correct mistakes confidently. This approach fosters active, lasting understanding.
The app also offers a wide range of 5th grade word problems, covering varied situations: sharing, conversions, measurements, or multi-step problems. It helps children develop logic, adopt good reflexes, and gain self-confidence.
Discover the appMath videos to practice word problems in 5th grade
Solving word problems in 5th grade requires method, logic, and solid mastery of operations such as 5th grade division. To help students structure their reasoning, our math videos provide clear, accessible teaching support, ideal alongside written exercises.
Each video covers a common type of 5th grade problem: sharing, time calculations, conversions, percentages, or multi-step problems.
With visual explanations, real-life examples, and guided voiceovers, students can review each concept at their own pace, pause, rewind, or practice alongside.
