Summer Activity Sheets — Answer Key
Part A: Fill in the Blank
Write the missing word or number on each line.
1. Mia sold 7 cones in the morning and 8 cones after lunch. She sold 15 cones in all.
To find the total, add both parts of the day together: 7 + 8 = 15 cones sold.
2. Ice cream is kept in a freezer so it does not melt.
A freezer is much colder than a regular fridge, so it keeps ice cream solid by stopping the heat that would otherwise melt it.
3. 16 sprinkles minus 9 sprinkles equals 7 sprinkles.
Subtracting 9 from 16 leaves 7 sprinkles, because 16 - 9 = 7.
4. A scoop of ice cream sits on top of a cone.
A cone is the crunchy, pointed wafer cup made to hold a scoop of ice cream so you can eat the whole thing without a bowl.
5. 8 plus 9 equals 17.
8 + 9 = 17. A quick way is to think 8 + 10 = 18, then take one away to get 17.
6. Chocolate, vanilla, and strawberry are popular ice cream flavors.
Flavors are the different tastes ice cream can have, and chocolate, vanilla, and strawberry are the three classic ones most shops offer.
7. 15 minus 8 equals 7.
15 - 8 = 7. You can check it by thinking 7 + 8 = 15, which matches.
8. A frozen treat on a stick is called a popsicle.
A popsicle is made by freezing flavored liquid around a wooden stick, which gives you a handle to hold while you eat it.
9. 6 plus 8 equals 14.
6 + 8 = 14. You can also split 8 into 4 + 4, add 6 + 4 = 10, then 10 + 4 = 14.
Part B: Matching
Match each item on the left to the correct answer on the right.
1. Match each frozen treat to its description.
Milkshake
→ A thick drink made by blending ice cream and milk
Ice cream topped with syrup and whipped cream
Snow cone
→ Shaved ice covered with flavored syrup
A thick drink made by blending ice cream and milk
Sundae
→ Ice cream topped with syrup and whipped cream
A healthier frozen treat made from yogurt
Frozen yogurt
→ A healthier frozen treat made from yogurt
Shaved ice covered with flavored syrup
A milkshake is thick because ice cream is blended with milk, a snow cone uses shaved ice and syrup, a sundae piles syrup and whipped cream on ice cream, and frozen yogurt swaps ice cream for yogurt.
