Students tackle advanced Halloween word problems and text-type identification. Part A has four multiple-choice questions about 7 masks sold for 9 days, personification in a trees-and-fingers sentence, and rounding 78 to the nearest ten. Part B has five fill-in-the-blank problems about 6 × 8 spiders, informational versus literary text, and a rounding estimation.
These problems challenge third graders to apply both math reasoning and reading comprehension to seasonal scenarios.
