Kakasa Ka Ba sa Grade 5? (transl. are you ready for grade 5?) is a Philippine television game show broadcast by GMA Network. The show is the Philippine version of Are You Smarter than a 5th Grader?. Hosted by Janno Gibbs, it premiered on October 27, 2007. The first season concluded on March 29, 2008. It was replaced by Pinoy Idol on its timeslot. The show returned for its second season on November 8, 2008 replacing Celebrity Duets. The show concluded on May 9, 2009 with a total of 47 episodes. It was replaced by Are You the Next Big Star? in its timeslot.

The show is announced under the proposed title Are You Smarter Than a Fifth Grader?: Pinoy Edition after the network acquired the format from Mark Burnett International. The acquisition came as GMA's sister network Q started airing the American version. The title of the Philippine version came later.

For two episodes in March 2009, Mo Twister temporarily took over the hosting plum for the show after Gibbs called in sick.[1]
