Ten one-page detective cases cover a whole year of grade 5 math, one topic per page, so you can use them in any order as back to school review, a beginning of the year assessment for rising 6th graders, end of year review, math centers, morning work, early finishers, sub plans, homework or small group intervention. Use it as a spiral review in the first weeks back, as cumulative practice before a test, or as an end-of-year wrap-up — the ten topics stand alone, so you can hand out one case a day or the whole pack at once. Completely no prep, just print and go.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat's Inside\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eDecimal operations: adding, subtracting and multiplying to hundredths, set out with the decimal points lined up\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eLong division: four-digit dividends and two-digit divisors, written under the division bracket\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003ePowers of ten and metric conversions: multiplying and dividing by 10, 100 and 1000, kilograms to grams, milliliters to liters, and rounding decimals to the nearest tenth and hundredth\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eOrder of operations: parentheses and brackets, including expressions with two levels of grouping\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eAdding and subtracting unlike denominators: two bars cut into different sized pieces, answers in simplest form\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eMultiplying fractions: an area model shaded both ways, so students see why the product is smaller than either fraction\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eVolume of rectangular prisms: counting unit cubes on the small crates and multiplying length by width by height on the large ones\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eCoordinate plane: two number patterns graphed as ordered pairs in the first quadrant, then continued past the last plotted point\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003ePlotting figures on a grid: read the corners off the axes and find the area in square units\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eLine plots with quarter inches: how many days, and how much rain, read straight off the plot\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eA red-inked answer key for every single case\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eTen separate cases, each one a single page with a matching answer key.
