Grade 5 word problems test
A free Grade 5 word problems test online, with answers, for South African learners following CAPS. It draws questions from 1 topic and the numbers change every time, so a child can take it again and again and never meet the same paper twice. Choose 10, 25 or 50 questions.
Grade 5 solves problems with whole numbers and fractions, including money, measurement, ratio and rate. Problem solving runs through every term of Grade 5, and the teaching plan gives it its own weeks in Term 4, using all four operations. It is tested in the Grade 5 maths Term 4 final exam.
Every answer is marked as you go, with the working shown, so a wrong answer teaches something instead of only costing a mark. Grabbing the numbers and an operation without reading the question, forgetting the units in the answer, and stopping after the first step of a two-step problem.
