Summer Review Sheets — Answer Key
Part A: Multiple Choice
Circle the best answer for each question.
1. Leo earned 8 dollars each day for 6 days at a lemonade stand. He spent 15 dollars on supplies. How much profit did he make?
A) 48 dollars
B) 33 dollars
C) 63 dollars
D) 39 dollars
First find total earnings: 8 × 6 = 48 dollars. Then subtract supplies: 48 - 15 = 33 dollars. Profit is earnings minus costs.
2. Which is the best summary? "The story is about a boy who finds a lost puppy at the beach, takes care of it, and returns it to its owner."
A) A boy goes to the beach and plays in the sand.
B) A boy finds, cares for, and returns a lost puppy.
C) A puppy gets lost and cries on the beach.
D) A boy wants a pet and goes to the beach.
This summary captures all three key events: finding, caring, and returning. The other choices leave out important parts of the story.
3. 72 tennis balls are packed equally into 8 cans. How many balls are in each can?
A) 8
B) 64
C) 9

72 ÷ 8 = 9 balls per can. Check: 8 × 9 = 72.
4. A recipe needs 23 cup of sugar and 13 cup of butter. How much is used in all?
A) 36 cup
B) 1 cup
C) 26 cup
D) 33 cup
23 + 13 = 33, which equals 1 whole cup. When the numerator equals the denominator, the fraction is one whole.
Part B: Fill in the Blank
Write the correct answer on each line.
1. 9 times 8 popsicles equals 72 popsicles.
9 × 8 = 72. Think (9 × 10) - (9 × 2) = 90 - 18 = 72.
2. If 46 of the puzzle is done, that simplifies to 23 of the puzzle.
Divide both 4 and 6 by 2 to simplify: 46 becomes 23. Four out of six parts matches two out of three.
3. 56 divided by 7 equals 8.
56 ÷ 7 = 8. Check: 7 × 8 = 56.
4. The problem a character must solve in a story is called the conflict.
Conflict is the challenge or struggle a character faces. Every good story has some kind of conflict to keep readers interested.
5. A square sandbox with 6-foot sides has a perimeter of 24 feet.
A square has 4 equal sides, so 4 × 6 = 24 feet. You can also add 6 + 6 + 6 + 6 = 24.
