5th Grade Greek and Latin Roots Worksheets

Ages 10-11 · 1 sub-topic · Free previews · Print-ready PDFs

These Greek and Latin roots worksheets for 5th grade use roots to unlock science and academic words (CCSS L.5.4.B). Students use bio, geo and logy to match words like geologist and zoology, sort words by the Latin roots spect, dict and scrib and use them in sentences, find the word that does not belong in root families such as port and tract, and break long words like chronometer into parts to choose a meaning. Four original sheets, each with an answer key, include a root table on every page.
