Description
What’s Included in these 5th Grade Math Sub Plans?
Each lesson in the 5th grade math sub plans is simple enough for the sub to follow but will engage your students in authentic learning …and not just busy work. Each lesson plan has a section for teacher notes at the bottom for any notes you’d like to leave for the sub (or for the sub to leave you notes!) All the graphic organizers, activities, or worksheets needed to complete every lesson are included.
-
10 Math Review Sheets: 5 at a 4th grade level for the beginning of the year and review and 5 that cover a variety of 5th grade standards
-
6 Ready-To-Go Math Lessons: Covering a variety of 5th grade math lesson topics including, adding and subtracting fractions, fraction ordering and equivalence, reading/writing/comparing decimals, volume of rectangular prisms, line plots with fraction units, and adding and subtracting decimals
In addition to the 5th Grade Math lessons, the following student activities are also included:
- Educational Games covering one or more of the lesson topics
- Just Add a Task Board Game: These board games are nearly ready to go! All that’s left to do is add a task- such as a spelling or a vocabulary list or math flash cards. It can also be played just for fun without a task. Color and B&W versions included.

This is fabulous! I am so glad to have something to fall back on when needed! It’s always so difficult to call in sick. This will make those already rough mornings so much easier. These lessons look great and look easy to follow.

Fabulous Fifth Fundamentals –
This resource was phenomenal for emergency sub plans. Every year we have to submit out emergency plans which rarely get used (we normally email a teammate things to do with notes on activities, etc). I bought these to send in for my resources expecting to not get anything out of it, but they are amazing. They have step by step instructions on how to teach the content and what to do with each worksheet which is a dream. As a former sub it was a nightmare to come in to a subject you are unfamiliar with, but these walk you through each step. I have them copied and in folders for student sets and know that if I have to miss during this crazy time that my students will have on topic activities complete. Great score!
