Free 5th grade math games and practice
Peabody's 5th grade math path has 39 short lesson parts in 6 skill areas, from "Adding with different bottoms" to "Patterns that make ordered pairs". Ten right answers finish a part, and every part is open. Practice starts on big numbers, fractions, decimals, negatives and algebra, times tables and division. All free through the end of 2026.
| Skill area | Parts | Some of the parts |
|---|---|---|
| Common denominators | 3 | Adding with different bottoms, Taking away with different bottoms and Mixed numbers, different bottoms |
| Decimals | 1 | Adding and taking away decimals |
| Shapes and geometry | 5 | Shape families, Always, sometimes, never and Name it by its properties |
| Number sense | 18 | Order of operations, Brackets and braces and Expressions in words |
| Measurement and data | 7 | Convert metric units, Convert customary units and Fair shares on a line plot |
| Number line and coordinate plane | 5 | The x-axis, the y-axis and ordered pairs, Read an ordered pair on a grid and Find the dot for an ordered pair |
On screen this path is called Level 7, so a child never has to think about which grade they are "supposed" to be in. A part is finished by ten right answers; a wrong one makes the next problem a little easier and never costs anything.
The lesson parts in 5th grade math
The first 24 of 39 parts, in the order Peabody lists them:
- Adding with different bottoms: Make the pieces match, then add.
- Taking away with different bottoms: Match the pieces, then take away.
- Mixed numbers, different bottoms: Wholes with wholes, pieces with pieces.
- Adding and taking away decimals: Line up the dots.
- Shape families: Is every square a rectangle?
- Order of operations: Groups first, then × ÷, then + −
- Convert metric units: 3.5 km = ? m
- Always, sometimes, never: Compare quadrilaterals
- Brackets and braces: Inside out
- Convert customary units: 2.5 gallons = ? cups
- Name it by its properties: Pick the most exact name
- Expressions in words: Write the expression
- Fair shares on a line plot: Even out the amounts
- Triangles by properties: Name by sides and angles
- Patterns with two rules: Pair up the terms
- Count cubes in layers: A layer, then how many layers
- Faces, edges, vertices: Prisms and pyramids
- Powers of ten: 10³ = 1,000
- Volume of a box: V = l × w × h, and V = B × h
- Multiply 3 digits by 2 digits: The standard algorithm
- Joined solids: Split, find each volume, add
- Divide 4 digits by 2 digits: No remainder
- Volume word problems: Tanks, water depth and packing
- Division with a remainder: What is left over?
…and 15 more parts in the full path.
What practice starts on
Beside the lessons, the practice brain brings facts back on a schedule. For a 5th grade child it works on multi-digit arithmetic, fractions, decimals and percents, negative numbers and algebra, times tables and division facts. The whole math ladder, lowest rung first, is counting, making ten, adding, taking away, number sense, times tables, division, big numbers, fractions, decimals and negatives and algebra; a child starts on the rung their grade puts them on and moves up when answers are solid, so a child who is ahead is not held back and a question answered right is done for good.

Questions parents ask
What does Peabody's 5th grade math cover?
39 lesson parts across common denominators, decimals, shapes and geometry, number sense, measurement and data and number line and coordinate plane, from adding with different bottoms to patterns that make ordered pairs. They are short, they are made and marked by code, and they are not matched to state standards.
Does my child have to do the parts in order?
No. Every part is open. The first one not yet finished is marked "Up next" as a suggestion, so a child can go to whatever the class is doing this week.
Is it free?
Yes, free through the end of 2026, with no sign-up. Peabody has no written work, no standards report and no test, so it is practice, not a full curriculum.
