5th Grade Weekly Homework Sheet: Fill & Download for Free

Up until third grade or so, I was obsessed with Math, but not very good at it – I’d go home and do extra problem sheets for fun! And yet, I was never even near the top of my class.In 4th and 5th grade, we started doing more abstract things like logic puzzles and games, and suddenly I was one of the best. It felt great.In 6th grade we did geometry, and I almost failed out of class. Ouch. They demoted me from the “very advanced” class to the “advanced” class.6 weeks into 7th grade I got promoted to the very advanced class. By 10th grade I realized I could start teaching myself Math, and taught myself Calculus well enough to pass placement exams.From 10th grade I went to college, and started taking proof-based Linear Algebra. This was, by far, the hardest course I’d taken in my life so far, and I just sucked at it. I literally failed the first two exams, despite spending 30 hours per week on this course, getting tutoring, etc.Then something “clicked.” I finished the second half of the homework assignments in 5 hours, and got perfect scores on the remaining exams. I’d made it!Except the same thing happened next year with Analysis. And again with Logic, and Combinatorics, and…At this point I think I can safely say I’m pretty good at any Math I’ve spent 200 hours on or more, and pretty mediocre at anything else. C’est la vie.

YES ABSOLUTELY.I was homeschooled all the way up to 6th grade. My parents (mainly my mom) homeschooled me and my 4 siblings up until she had to get a job. It was really only my older sister and I that she taught because my 3 younger siblings all entered public school before 3rd grade. My homeschool education was far from formal, nothing like today where it’s all done on the internet.I got my books from one of three places:Ordered offlineBought at a bookstore (new or used)The lost and found bin from the private school my grandma was a janitor at.Sometimes my dad would make homework sheets on Microsoft word or print out exercises from the Internet for our math. My dad would teach math and religion while my mom would teach science and English/Writing. It started out good and lasted maybe three to four years of learning and doing quizzes and at home science experiments. My mom would take us all to the library at least once a week to improve our reading skills.Then when I was in “5th grade” we moved for my dads new job. For several months I didn’t do any schoolwork at all because it was just so busy with packing and moving and settling in. At this point my mom got a bit more lax with my studies. She let me do three books of cursive handwriting and re-read my 3rd grade pilgrim history book for the 4th time.She would assign science and math but I just copied the answers from the back of the textbook because I couldn’t understand the math and she didn’t know how to teach it all that well.This is the time when I get the news that I’m being enrolled in public school. My mom said “Do you want to be in 5th, 6th, or 7th grade?” I was 11 years old and didn’t know where I belonged academically. I chose 6th grade to avoid having to be in the same grade as the girls from my church who were in 5th and 7th grade.This was by far the hardest year of school in my life. I entered 6th grade not knowing how to multiply or divide in math. I had the worst case of social anxiety and selective mutism so I didn’t ask for help even when I had no idea what I was doing. My teacher really didn’t believe me when I said I didn’t know how to do long division and I started crying in the middle of class because I literally wasn’t trying to be hard headed I just didn’t know ANYTHING. I was getting an ‘F’ in math until my mom talked to my teacher and they arranged for me to have some after school tutoring. I didn’t know any grammar or punctuation rules (still not great at it tbh). All my subjects were so difficult for me because it was so much information to take in. Other kids had been taught this stuff since 1st grade and I was learning it all at once and also multiple subjects.It didn’t end bad though. By the end of the year I made the honor roll and the year after in 7th grade I was taking a couple of advanced classes. By 8th grade I was in advanced math, science, and English. In high school I continued to take advanced maths and advanced English.The hardest part about the entire transition was being a social outcast. I went through my entire public schooling never having any friends until about 10th grade. It was so hard to make friends because I just never socialized with kids besides my other homeschooled siblings. Kids thought I was weird and I occasionally got bullied but nothing horrible. I continued to move around a lot for my dads job and ended up changing middle school twice and high school 3 times.When I reached my senior year of high school I moved one more time in the middle of my senior year. At this point I had been struggling with an eating disorder for a couple years and the 600+ mile move away from my only friends was too much for me and I fell into a depression, stopped caring about school and enrolled into my last school in basic non advanced classes. I graduated in 2013 with some kind of honor (idk what kind I just know I got a special tassel for my cap). Worst 5 months of my life.Long story short, yes the transition was hard, but only because I had such an informal homeschooling and was stupid and academically behind compared to everybody else. Adjusting socially was something I never really learned and it has taken its toll on me well into current times as a young adult.I apologize in advance if my grammar is bad, as I never really grasped or retained that information.

I'm about to graduate 8th grade so I guess this is my improvement since entering middle school:I have a few drawings from elementary school, presumably 5th grade (age 10). I liked drawing my friends, and I think the first one was imagining my friend group in the future.In 6th grade (age 11), I drew a TON of eyes and towards the end of the year some people. Unfortunately, most of my drawings were on homework and sheets of paper that got recycled.It took me many tries to get the hang of eyes.At the beginning of 7th grade (age 12), I started my first sketchbook. This helped me improve faster because I was drawing more but I also got in the habit of making tons of sketches but never any finished pieces.I was an edgelord.A really awful redraw of that drawing from 6th grade.Towards the spring, I began working on anatomy.A character my friend, kira made up.Here's a portrait of a girl from school.Here's some anatomy improvement that started to show towards the end of 7th grade.A redraw.I must've just rewatched The Last Unicorn.The start of 8th grade (age 13), I didn't draw a whole lot until January.Here's a self portrait that I'm not too proud of.I started drawing in this more cartoonish style some, but still kept working on my more realistic proportions.(sorry it's upside down)A human squished into a dog shaped container, if you were unsure.Lastly, here's some more recent drawings (past few months)Here's an art project inspired by the song “birdhouse in your soul” by They Might be Giants.I guess I'm a bit of a muse fan.So that's my progress. Hopefully this was interesting to someone. I think I have improved that past three years and I'm excited for all the awesome art classes I will be able to take in highschool.Edit: here's something I found:Edit 2: here's a portrait I just completed that I'm quite proud of!Edit 3: here's a spidey drawing from this week. Thank you for the the upvotes also, its incredible!
