These tricky winter problems push third graders to think across math and reading at once. Part A's multiple choice covers an 8-box, 7-toy drive plus 15 extra donations, identifies the simile in 'the icy wind howled like a hungry wolf,' compares 3/4 and 2/4, and pulls the main idea from a passage about polar bears' fur and fat.
Part B fills in answers about 9 children making 5 paper snowflakes each, feet in a yard, the missing sixth when 5/6 are red, the word theme for a story's lesson, and 6x8 candy canes. A challenging mix that rewards careful reading and confident multiplication.
