Thanksgiving Math Worksheets
5th Grade

We have created a range of 5th grade worksheets with a Thanksgiving theme.

There are several codebreaker worksheets where you have to work out the answer to a Thanksgiving joke.

We have some picture puzzle worksheets where you have to use and find the value of different Thanksgiving symbols.

There are also two arithmetic symbol worksheets where you have to use your reasoning to work out the values of different Thanksgiving symbols.

If you want to try something different, you can always try one of our Thanksgiving math games or craft activities.

Using these sheets will help your child to:

• use PEMDAS to work out the value of a range of simple expressions with 3 numbers and two arithmetic operators
• practice your division facts to 10x10;
• use addition, multiplication, subtraction and division skills confidently to reach a given target number;
• solve math puzzles with a Thanksgiving theme

The pages have been split up into several different sections:

• the first section contains our codebreaking worksheets.
• the second section contains our picture puzzle and arithmetic puzzle worksheets.
• the third section contains our Thanksgiving math games
• the last section contains our Thanksgiving craft ideas.

Our codebreaker worksheets each contain a Thanksgiving joke. To find the answer to the joke, you have to work out the codebreaker!

Sheet 5A involves using parentheses to work the value of a range of expressions.

Sheet 5B involves using PEMDAS to work out the value of different expressions.

These sheets both involve using logic and reasoning to work out the values of each of the Thanksgiving symbols.

To work out the solution to these puzzles, you have to use your reasoning skills.

You are given different symbols in an equation and you have to work out the values of each of the symbols and also the missing totals.

The first sheet is slightly easier as it has a smaller range of numbers to choose the values from.

We have created several math games suitable for 3rd and 4th graders with a Thanksgiving theme.

Turkey Crossing is a strategy game. One player plays 3 farmers and the other player is the turkey. The turkey has to escape from the farmers and get to the other side of the field to escape. This game is suitable for kids of all ages.

Thanksgiving Cover Up which is a fun math fact game where you use your addition, subtraction and multiplication skills to make different numbers. There is an easier and harder version of this game.

Thanksgiving Three of a Kind game which is very similar to the Thanksgiving Cover Up game.

Each game comes complete with instructions.

Race to the New World is a math fact game where you need to answer a multiplication or division fact correctly to try to create an unbroken path of counters from Southampton to the New World.

We have created a couple of nets with a Thanksgiving theme.

There are several versions of each net, so you can either choose one which already has pictures to color or draw your own.

The nets are best printed out on thick paper so that you can make them into Thanksgiving boxes.

To make the Thanksgiving boxes, you need to work slowly carefully and have plenty of patience!

Follow these instructions to create your box:

1. choose which box you want to make and print it out on thick paper
2. cut out the nets carefully and take your time to do a good job
3. score the fold lines before folding - you can use a blunt pair of scissors to do this. This will make folding easier.
4. fold along each of the fold lines
5. place a small amount of paper glue on each of the tabs except the lid!
6. stick your box together

We have a range of Thanksgiving activities designed for different age kids.

The activities include counting, adding and subtracting and color-by-number.

The puzzles will help your child practice and apply their addition, subtraction, multiplication and division facts and fractions knowledge as well as developing their thinking and reasoning skills in a fun and engaging way.

The Math Salamanders hope you enjoy using these free printable Math worksheets and all our other Math games and resources.
