Summer Review Sheets — Answer Key
Part A: Multiple Choice
Circle the best answer for each question.
1. A camp cabin has 4 bunk beds. Each bunk bed sleeps 2 campers. If there are 7 cabins, how many campers can sleep in all?
A) 48 campers
B) 56 campers
C) 14 campers
D) 28 campers
Each cabin sleeps 4 × 2 = 8 campers. Then 7 cabins × 8 campers = 56 campers total. Multi-step multiplication gets you there.
2. Read: "After losing the relay race, Sam smiled and high-fived the winning team." What character trait does Sam show?
A) Selfishness
B) Laziness
C) Good sportsmanship
D) Shyness
Smiling and congratulating the winners after a loss is the definition of good sportsmanship. Sam stays positive instead of pouting.
3. A garden has 6 rows with 8 plants in each row. 12 plants have not bloomed yet. How many plants have bloomed?
A) 36
B) 48
C) 40
D) 42
First find total plants: 6 × 8 = 48. Then subtract unbloomed: 48 - 12 = 36 plants that have bloomed.
4. Which pair of fractions shows equivalent fractions?
A) 13 and 28
B) 14 and 38
C) 23 and 46
D) 12 and 38
Multiply both parts of 23 by 2 to get 46, so they are equivalent. The other pairs do not match when you simplify them.
Part B: Fill in the Blank
Write the correct answer on each line.
1. 7 times 6 canoe paddles equals 42 canoe paddles.
7 × 6 = 42. You can split it: (7 × 5) + 7 = 35 + 7 = 42.
2. If 68 of the campfire songs have been sung, that simplifies to 34 of the songs.
Divide both 6 and 8 by 2 to simplify: 68 becomes 34. Six out of eight parts matches three out of four.
3. 48 divided by 6 equals 8.
48 ÷ 6 = 8. Check: 6 × 8 = 48.
4. An author's reason for writing a story is called the author's purpose.
Author's purpose is the reason for writing — usually to inform, persuade, or entertain. Remember the 'PIE' trick: Persuade, Inform, Entertain.
5. A rectangular campfire pit is 5 feet long and 3 feet wide, so its perimeter is 16 feet.
Perimeter = 5 + 3 + 5 + 3 = 16 feet. The shortcut 2 × (5 + 3) = 2 × 8 = 16 works too.
