This harder sheet pushes first graders into multiple-choice questions and longer word problems. Four multiple-choice items ask about seashell collecting, the season before summer, and subtraction with kids leaving the pool. Five fill-in-the-blank word problems then cover watermelon slices, swimmers and sand players combined, and flowers picked across two days. Children must read carefully, decide whether to add or subtract within 20, and apply summer story contexts to real arithmetic, building strong second-grade readiness.
