Summer Review Sheets — Answer Key
Part A: Fix the Sentence
Each sentence has an error. Rewrite it correctly on the line.
1. Fix the sentence:
The kids swimed in the pool every day during summer vacation.
Corrected: The kids swam in the pool every day during summer vacation.
The past tense of 'swim' is 'swam', not 'swimed'. 'Swim' is an irregular verb that does not follow the normal '-ed' rule.
2. Fix the sentence:
24 popsicles shared equally among 4 friends gives each friend 8 popsicles.
Corrected: 24 popsicles shared equally among 4 friends gives each friend 6 popsicles.
24 ÷ 4 = 6 popsicles each, not 8. Check: 4 × 6 = 24, so sharing equally works perfectly.
3. Fix the sentence:
If you eat 24 of a watermelon, you have eaten two fourths or one third.
Corrected: If you eat 24 of a watermelon, you have eaten two fourths or one half.
24 simplifies to 12 by dividing both numbers by 2. One third would equal 26 or a different fraction, not 24.
Part B: Fill in the Blank
Write the missing word or number on each line.
1. 6 times 7 beach balls equals 42 beach balls.
6 × 7 = 42. You can split it: (6 × 5) + (6 × 2) = 30 + 12 = 42.
2. The theme of a story is the lesson or message the author wants to share.
The theme is the big life lesson behind a story, like 'honesty matters'. It is different from the plot, which is the sequence of events.
3. 36 divided by 9 equals 4.
36 ÷ 9 = 4. Check with the fact family: 9 × 4 = 36.
4. One foot is the same as 12 inches.
In the U.S. customary system, 1 foot is always equal to 12 inches. A standard ruler often shows both units side by side.
Part C: True or False?
Read each statement. Circle True or False.
1. 8 times 5 equals 40.
True False
8 × 5 = 40. Skip-counting by 5 eight times gives 5, 10, 15, 20, 25, 30, 35, 40.
2. 13 is greater than 12.
True False
13 is actually smaller than 12 because thirds are smaller pieces than halves. Cut one pizza into 3 and another into 2 — the half-pizza slice is larger.
3. 45 divided by 5 equals 9.
True False
45 ÷ 5 = 9. Check: 5 × 9 = 45, so the division works out correctly.
