To begin, 10 categories are shown; 2 of them are 1st grade level questions, 2 of them are 2nd grade level questions, and so on all the way to 5th grade. The contestant must pick a category and answer the corresponding question. For example, "What is wrong with this sentence - John bake many cookies." would be a 2nd grade grammar question. The contestant must give a correct response and 'lock it in' by pushing a button on his/her 'podium.' Each question has a monetary value, as follows:
$1,000
$2,000
$5,000
$10,000
$25,000
$50,000
$100,000
$175,000
$300,000
$500,000
Every 2 questions, the contestant must pick 1 of the 5 'students' in case the contestant needs help. The students, one of which will be at a smaller podium, must write down their answer, and in the case of the student at the podium, lock it in. The contestant may 'peek' at the student's answer, and he/she may 'copy' their answer and lock that in. If a contestant answers a question incorrectly, he/she will drop to either $0 or $25,000 (depending on how far they are) unless the student has it right, in which case they will be 'saved.' The 'cheats' may only be used once and only once.
At any point, the contestant may 'drop out' of school and walk away. If a contestant answers incorrectly, they are said to have 'flunked out' of school. If any of these happen, the contestant must say in front of the camera, "I am not smarter than a 5th grader."
The only case in which the contestant can not say that is if they win the top prize of $1,000,000. Until $500,000, the contestant can 'drop out' of the game anytime, but at the $1,000,000, they can only see the final category, which will always be a 5th grade category. Should they choose to go on, they cannot drop out and would therefore be risking $475,000 on the million-dollar question. To date, 2 contestants have answered the million-dollar question correctly, and 7 have walked with $500,000.

How many children are there in are you smarter than a fifth grader?
Are You Smarter than a Fifth Grader is a television show on FOX. In this show, adults play the game to see if they are smarter than a fifth grader. They have categories on the screen from 1st-5Th grade like Math, Geography and other school subjects also like Reading. They choose the category they want and they try to get the answer to that question. When playing, the contestants have a 5th grader on their side, who also answer the same exact question. The contestant has three "cheats", which will help them if they are stumped on a question. They are peek (look at the 5Th grader's answer), copy (must go with the 5Th grader's answer), and save. Their save kicks in if they answer a question wrong but the 5Th grader. Each question that the contestant answers correctly, will earn them money. Once they reach the $25,000 level, they cannot leave with less than that. The final question is the million dollar question. If they choose to see the million dollar question, they cannot drop out and must answer. The show is hosted by Jeff Foxworthy.And that is are you smarter than a fifth grader

What is the responsibility of a fifth grader?
as a fifth grader, you should be around 10 years old. a 5th grader doesn't really have a quite mature brain as people in older grades do, and a 5th grader, by heart, is normally a very abitious kid who makes a lot of noise and always likes to play. if you're talking about school wise, a 5th grader should keep up with all of the work. that specific work is given to your grade for a reason. it is too sophisticated for 4th graders and dumbed down for a 6th grader. a 5th grader can do many of the household chores that don't strain him/her too much. if you are unable to do a certain chore that many people your age can do, its not your fault. wait until you are older to try.
