Fourth graders alternate between Halloween computation and literary terms: a zombie baking 8 trays of 14 cookies, a werewolf dividing 192 howls over 6 nights, and 9 skeletons each carrying 16 bones. Vocabulary blanks ask for simile, onomatopoeia, conflict, and antagonist, then 7 mummies guard 23 treasures apiece.
Part B matches first person, third person, dialogue, and imagery to their definitions. Switching between multi-digit multiplication and story-element vocabulary builds the kind of flexible thinking fourth grade actually demands.
