Fourth graders work a bat catching 6 moths across 14 hours, a ghost handing 216 candy bars to 8 houses, and 5 cauldrons holding 34 potions each. Vocabulary fill-ins name hyperbole, setting, flashback, and protagonist, while 8 spider webs trap 19 flies apiece for one more multiplication round.
Part B matches cause, effect, main idea, and summary to their definitions. Pairing larger products and quotients with reading-comprehension terms keeps both math fluency and story analysis sharp at the same time.
