Summer Review Sheets — Answer Key
Part A: Fix the Sentence
Each sentence has an error. Rewrite it correctly on the line.
1. Fix the sentence:
A camp packed 9 coolers with 6 juice boxes each. They packed 52 juice boxes because 9 × 6 = 52.
Corrected: A camp packed 9 coolers with 6 juice boxes each. They packed 54 juice boxes because 9 × 6 = 54.
Nine groups of six is 9 x 6 = 54, not 52, so the camp packed 54 juice boxes in those coolers.
2. Fix the sentence:
Leo shared 72 watermelon slices equally among 8 friends. Each got 8 slices because 72 ÷ 8 = 8.
Corrected: Leo shared 72 watermelon slices equally among 8 friends. Each got 9 slices because 72 ÷ 8 = 9.
Dividing 72 slices among 8 friends gives 9 each because 8 x 9 = 72, so each friend got 9 watermelon slices.
3. Fix the sentence:
Maya drank 0.3 liters of lemonade and 0.4 liters more. She drank 0.07 liters in all.
Corrected: Maya drank 0.3 liters of lemonade and 0.4 liters more. She drank 0.7 liters in all.
Adding 0.3 and 0.4 lines up tenths with tenths and gives 0.7 liters, since 3 tenths plus 4 tenths is 7 tenths.
Part B: Fill in the Blank
Write the missing word or number on each line.
1. A swim team has 8 lanes with 7 swimmers each. There are 56 swimmers total.
Eight lanes with 7 swimmers each is 8 x 7 = 56 swimmers in total.
2. A camp distributes 108 beach balls equally into 9 bins. Each bin has 12 balls.
Splitting 108 balls equally into 9 bins gives 108 / 9 = 12 balls per bin.
3. Six beach towels cost $15 each. The total is $90.
Six towels at $15 each costs 6 x 15 = 90, so the total is $90.
4. A lifeguard stacks 144 life jackets into 12 equal rows. Each row has 12 jackets.
Stacking 144 jackets into 12 equal rows means 144 / 12 = 12 jackets per row.
Part C: Short Answer
Answer each question in one or two complete sentences.
1. A camp bought 5 boxes of popsicles with 24 popsicles each and ate 38 on day one. How many are left? Show your steps.
Sample answer: Step 1: 5 × 24 = 120 popsicles total. Step 2: 120 − 38 = 82 popsicles left.
First multiply to find the total: 5 x 24 = 120 popsicles. Then subtract what was eaten: 120 - 38 = 82 popsicles left.
2. The story says "The hot sand burned her feet as she raced to the water." What does this tell you about the setting? Explain.
Sample answer: It tells me the setting is a beach on a very hot summer day. The sand is so hot it burns, which is a clue about the time and place.
Sand hot enough to burn feet only happens on a sunny summer day, so this clue points to a beach setting during very hot weather.
