Written by Dr. Evan J. Hasson, DC — a dad of three who built this curriculum for his own kids.
25 questions with the answers, free to print and free to photocopy for your own students. Questions taken from the curriculum itself rather than generated — fractions, area and perimeter, time, rounding, comparing — the reasoning a grade actually covers, not only the number facts.

From the workbook
A real page of Math · Grade 5
Treasure Maps on the Coordinate Plane
The child will be able to describe the parts of the coordinate plane, plot and name points in the first quadrant using ordered pairs, and use the plane to solve real-world problems, including finding distances along grid lines. · 40 min
Warm-up — say this
“Pirates use maps to find treasure. Today we'll use a math map called the coordinate plane to find exact locations.”
Worked example
Plot the point (4, 7). Describe how you got there.
Answer: Start at the origin (0, 0). Move 4 units right along the x-axis, then 7 units up. Put a dot there and label it (4, 7).
A mistake students make
(3, 5) and (5, 3) are the same point because they use the same numbers.
How the book fixes it
Plot both points in different colors. They land in different places. The first number is always the move across (x), and the second is the move up (y). 'Walk before you climb.'
Note to the parent
Repeat 'walk before you climb' every time your child plots a point. Mixing up the order of x and y is the most common mistake, and a catchy phrase helps it stick.
That is one topic of many. The free questions above check a skill; this is the part that teaches it.
Practice is not teaching. Math · Grade 5 is the part that teaches.
These questions check a skill your student has already met. They do not explain anything, and they are not meant to — that is what the workbook is for, and it is the whole difference between the two.
It teaches.Each topic is a forty-minute lesson that tells you what to say, in order: a five-minute warm-up, twelve minutes of teaching, ten minutes guided, ten minutes on their own, three minutes to close. Written for a parent who has never taught.
It explains.Two worked examples per topic, and the two mistakes students actually make on that exact skill — named, with how to correct each one. When a student is stuck, the book already knows why.
It reviews.Every answer comes with a short explanation, not just a key. And every topic has its own question bank, so a student who needs another go gets different questions rather than the same page again.
It is a plan, not a pile.Every topic names the standard it addresses, in teaching order, so you can see the whole year before you start.

Why this exists
I was spending thousands a month on tutors, and when I asked about enrolling a second or third child the answer was the same everywhere: that will be double. So I built the thing I could not find — nine subjects, kindergarten through grade 5, every topic in the order a student should actually meet it.
Yes. All 25 questions and their answers are on this page, free to print and free to photocopy for your own students. There is no account, no email address and no card.
Can a teacher or a tutor use these with a class?
Yes. Print and photocopy them for the students you teach. The only thing we ask is that you do not republish them as your own or sell them.
Where are the answers?
Marked beside each question on this page, so it prints as its own answer key. If you want a clean copy for a student, print it and cover the answer column, or use the sample workbook instead.
What grade are these for?
Grade 5. Every other grade from kindergarten to grade 5 has its own page, linked at the foot of this one. If your student finds these hard, try the grade below — that is normal and it is not a problem.
What do the paid workbooks add?
These questions check a skill. The workbook teaches it: a forty-minute lesson that tells you what to say, two worked examples, the two mistakes students actually make on that skill and how to correct each one, and an explanation beside every answer rather than a bare key.
