How much math homework did you have each night in around 5th grade (age 10-11)?

My teacher that year gave us a workbook page (20ish problems), a problem-solving page (8 word problems), and usually a riddle worksheet or something else (like 10-15 more problems) every night. In 6th grade, I only had like 5 problems total each night. So much depends on the individual teacher you have.

Ahh how lovely were these days when I'd just study for 2-3 hours and learn everything so easily! I surely had grammar or some kind of essay, some math problems and something to learn by heart (like some pages of history, geography, physics/biology, social and political education, religion textbooks, depending on which ones I had next day). Oh and English, lol I used to hate it back then.

@HannibalAteMeOut How much homework did you get in just math each night?

@33person I don't remember at all, usually math took the longest, though. I remember 5th grade was considered to be the most difficult in primary school.

lots from what I remember.
But it was assigned pages out of our math books so I don;t recall any specifics in types of problems.
In fact, for me it was the first yer I really had homework.

@TwiddlerofThumbs Yeah, I think 45 minutes is plenty for 2nd grade, on heavy nights.

@33person I can see reading to be useful to a 2nd grader. I would be willing to even say that an extended learning environment is a healthy thing when done through play or a way to make it interactive and fun. But homework is bullshit at that age.

@TwiddlerofThumbs Reading definitely. Maybe practicing spelling words and math facts a little.

In 5th grade i had to do maybe 2 pages and sometimes 1 of math. Then every week we had readings and spelling words. As well as math quizzes. I only studied for math tho. I cheated on vocabulary
