Students complete nine problems about nursery tree sales, the term for predicting story events, and bulb distribution across garden beds. The matching activity pairs main idea, detail, sequence, and conclusion with their reading strategy definitions.
Matching reading strategy terms to their definitions reinforces the precise metalanguage fourth graders need to discuss, identify, and apply comprehension strategies across any passage they read.

Spring Math & Reading
Part A: Fill in the Blank
Write the missing word or number on each line.
1. A nursery sells 6 fruit trees at $25 each. Total sales are $150.
2. A guess about what will happen later in a story is called a prediction.
3. A gardener divides 168 bulbs into 8 equal beds. Each bed gets 21 bulbs.
4. The lesson or message of a spring story is its theme.
5. A rectangular plot is 11 m long and 9 m wide. Its area is 99 square meters.
6. A short summary of the main events in a passage is called a summary.
7. Nine butterflies lay 16 eggs each. They lay 144 eggs in all.
8. Reading between the lines to understand hidden meaning is called making an inference.
9. Five gardeners each spend $32 on tools. Together they spend $160.
Part B: Matching
Match each item on the left to the correct answer on the right.
1. Match each item to its correct answer.
