Summer Review Sheets — Answer Key
Part A: Multiple Choice
Circle the best answer for each question.
1. A family drove 7 hours each day for 8 days on a road trip. They rested for 6 of those hours total. How many hours did they actually drive?
A) 50 hours
B) 62 hours
C) 56 hours
D) 42 hours
First find total hours: 7 × 8 = 56 hours. Then subtract rest: 56 - 6 = 50 hours of actual driving.
2. Read: "The dark clouds gathered quickly, and the beachgoers packed up their umbrellas and hurried to the parking lot." What can you predict will happen next?
A) The sun will come out.
B) A storm is about to start.
C) The beach will get more crowded.
D) The beachgoers will go swimming.
Dark clouds and people rushing off the beach are classic storm clues. People leave the beach when bad weather is coming.
3. A souvenir shop sold 54 keychains in 6 equal boxes. Each box holds how many keychains?
A) 7
B) 8
C) 9
D) 6
54 ÷ 6 = 9 keychains per box. Check: 6 × 9 = 54.
4. Which fraction is greater than 12?
A) 26
B) 38
C) 14
D) 58
12 equals 48, so 58 is greater. The other fractions (26, 38, 14) are all less than 12.
Part B: Fill in the Blank
Write the correct answer on each line.
1. 9 times 9 seashells equals 81 seashells.
9 × 9 = 81. This is a square number because the same number is multiplied by itself.
2. If 39 of the sand dollars are broken, that simplifies to 13 of the sand dollars.
Divide both 3 and 9 by 3 to simplify: 39 becomes 13. Three out of nine parts matches one out of three.
3. 63 divided by 9 equals 7.
63 ÷ 9 = 7. Check: 9 × 7 = 63.
4. The sequence of events in a story from beginning to end is called the plot.
The plot is the order of events in a story, from start to finish. It usually includes a problem and a solution.
5. A rectangular beach towel is 7 feet long and 4 feet wide, so its area is 28 square feet.
Area = length × width, so 7 × 4 = 28 square feet. Area always uses square units.
