As the end of the school year approaches, upper elementary math teachers know the challenge all too well: reviewing an entire year’s worth of standards while keeping students engaged, confident, and prepared for testing. It’s a delicate balance between meaningful practice and avoiding overwhelm—for both you and your students.
That’s exactly why I created four comprehensive math assessment packets designed individually for grades 3–6. These packets are structured to streamline your test prep while giving you clear, actionable insights into student understanding.
What Makes These Packets Different?

Each grade-level packet is thoughtfully organized into two key components:
Individual Domain Assessments
Each skill domain is broken down into a focused 10-question assessment, allowing you to quickly pinpoint strengths and gaps without overwhelming students.
Cumulative Mixed Review
After practicing individual skills, students complete a mixed review that spirals all assessed concepts—perfect for reinforcing retention and mimicking test conditions.
This structure not only supports student mastery, but also saves you valuable planning and grading time.
Why Teachers Love These Packets
Focused and Efficient – No more scrambling to pull together review materials.
Clear Skill Breakdown – Easily identify exactly where students need support.
Test Prep Ready – The mixed reviews mirror real testing scenarios.
Flexible Use – Perfect for whole group review, small groups, homework, or independent practice.
Make Test Prep Meaningful (and Manageable)

End-of-year review doesn’t have to feel rushed or stressful. With a structured approach and purposeful practice, your students can walk into testing feeling confident and prepared—and you can feel confident in the data you’ve gathered along the way.
If you're looking to simplify your test prep while maximizing impact, these assessment packets are designed with you in mind. You can find all the details for each grade level assessment packet below. If you are wanting something added, please reach out! I am always happy to add assessments that you feel are strongly needed in your individual classroom.
The 3rd grade packet builds a strong mathematical foundation with a focus on number sense, operations, and introductory data and geometry skills.
Skills Covered:
Place Value (number forms, rounding, place vs. value)
Compare & Order Numbers (up to 100,000)
Addition & Subtraction (multi-digit)
Multiplication & Division within 100
Fractions (understanding and comparing)
Measurement (time, area, perimeter, bar graphs)
Graphing & Data (frequency tables, pictographs, bar graphs, dot plots)
Geometry
Designed to deepen conceptual understanding, the 4th grade packet emphasizes multi-step thinking and connections across math domains.
Skills Covered:
Place Value (number forms, 10x value, rounding, place vs. value)
Algebraic Thinking (patterns, factors, multiples)
Addition & Subtraction (multi-digit)
Multiplication (2x2 digit, 3- and 4-digit by 1-digit)
Division (single-digit divisors)
Fractions (add/subtract with common denominators, multiply by whole numbers)
Measurement (metric, customary, area, perimeter)
Geometry (lines, angles, triangles)
The 5th grade packet helps students transition into more advanced operations and prepares them for middle school expectations.
Skills Covered:
Place Value (number forms, rounding, decimals, place vs. value)
Addition & Subtraction (multi-digit)
Multiplication & Division (whole numbers and decimals)
Fractions (all operations: add, subtract, multiply, divide)
Measurement (conversions, volume, perimeter, dot plots)
Geometry (shapes, lines, symmetry, coordinate planes)
Perfect for bridging elementary and middle school math, this packet focuses on critical thinking and problem-solving with more abstract concepts.
Skills Covered:
Rational Numbers
Addition & Subtraction
Multiplication & Division
Equations & Expressions
