For Social Studies, I found a fun website that goes through the Underground Railroad - http://teacher.scholastic.com/activities/bhistory/underground_railroad/index.htm. The children go through each step and listen to a slave as he goes through how he came to escape slavery. This would go well with 5th grade standard 1: Students will understand how the exploration and colonization of North America transformed human history, Objective 3: Distinguish between the rights and responsibilities held by different groups of people during the colonial period, and indicator a: Compare the varying degrees of freedom held by different groups (e.g. American Indians, landowners, women, indentured servants, enslaved people).
http://www.ixl.com/math/practice/grade-5-place-values was a good review for students to use with place value. It goes through a series of questions, and the students have to figure out the number by using place value. This website had a lot of different resources and I think that there are many different ways that it will be able to be used in the future. This link would be good for 5th Grade Math Standard 1: Students will expand number sense to include integers and perform operations with whole numbers, simple fractions, and decimals, Objective 1: Represent whole numbers and decimals from thousandths to one billion, fractions, percents, integers, Indicator a: Read and write numbers in standard and expanded form.
There are a lot of websites out there. Sometimes it is hard to know which ones to use, but I feel like they give the students more practice and can be a lot of fun in the process.
