Barron's Core Focus Grade 5 Test Practice for Common Core

Recognizing the need for a product that will help students navigate the Common Core State Standards being implemented in schools across America, Barron's has created this series of grade-specific workbooks to help students prepare. Barron's Core Focus Workbook for Grade 5 is designed to complement the Common Core teaching that fifth grade students are receiving in the classroom. This versatile book includes:

• Specific practice on the Common Core standards through a variety of exercises, including multiple choice, short answer, and extended response questions
• A unique scaffolded layout that organizes questions in a way that challenges students to apply the standards in multiple formats
• "Fast fact" boxes that enhance lessons with added vocabulary, tips, and strategies
• A cumulative assessment in Mathematics and English Language Arts (ELA) for students to demonstrate their understanding across the standards

Grade 5 Test Practice can be used at home or in the classroom and will provide students, parents, and educators with the opportunity to enhance knowledge and practice grade level expectations in the Common Core Standards.
