Inside the case file

Emergency sub plans for 5th grade: ten no prep math worksheets in a CSI Mini Mystery Detective style, math your substitute can hand out with no teaching. Each page is one case on one 5th grade math topic, so it covers a full day or a week of math. Print one page per student, and the answer keys stay in your folder.

What's Inside

Ten one-page cases, each on a different 5th grade math topic:

Multi-digit multiplication, 2 digit by 2 digit and 3 digit by 2 digit
Adding, subtracting and rounding decimals to hundredths
Adding and subtracting fractions with unlike denominators
Order of operations with parentheses
Long division with 2 digit divisors
Dividing with unit fractions
Multiplication and division word problems
Area and perimeter of rectangles
Reading a line plot in halves and quarters of an inch
Volume of rectangular prisms

The ten cases are The Book Order Mix Up, The Snack Cart Slip, The Paint Can Puzzle, The Locker Code Case, The Field Trip Split, The Rope Cut Caper, The School Fair Files, The New Court Plans, The Leaf Length File and The Stockroom Stack. There's an answer key for every case.

What is a Mini Mystery Detective?

Students solve the problems on the page and cross a suspect off the list for each correct answer. One suspect is left at the end, and that's the villain.

Why This Works on a Sub Day

Print one page per student. There are no materials.
The directions are on each page, so the substitute doesn't have to teach
Students can tell when an answer doesn't match a suspect
Each case takes about 25 to 35 minutes
Use the cases in any order, to match what your class has been learning

When to Use This Resource

Keep a set in your sub folder or sub tub for days you can't plan ahead. The cases are also handy for math centers, bell ringers, early finishers, homework and end of year review.

Grade Levels

Written for 5th grade. 6th graders can use the cases as back to school review, and advanced 4th graders as a challenge.
