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 pool shop sold 7 goggles at $11 each. The total was $78 because 7 x 11 = 78.
Corrected: A pool shop sold 7 goggles at $11 each. The total was $77 because 7 x 11 = 77.
"Builded" is not a real word because "build" is an irregular verb. Its past tense is "built," not "builded."
2. Fix the sentence:
Kira split 84 stickers equally among 7 friends. Each friend got 11 stickers because 84 / 7 = 11.
Corrected: Kira split 84 stickers equally among 7 friends. Each friend got 12 stickers because 84 / 7 = 12.
48 divided by 6 equals 8, not 9. You can check by multiplying: 6 times 8 equals 48.
3. Fix the sentence:
A beach cooler holds 0.6 kg of fruit and 0.25 kg of cheese. It holds 0.31 kg of food altogether.
Corrected: A beach cooler holds 0.6 kg of fruit and 0.25 kg of cheese. It holds 0.85 kg of food altogether.
36 simplifies to 12, not 13, because both 3 and 6 can be divided by 3, giving 12.
Part B: Fill in the Blank
Write the missing word or number on each line.
1. A camp orders 6 boxes of sunscreen with 12 bottles each. That is 72 bottles total.
Multiply 9 times 5 to get 45. Think of it as 9 groups of 5 boots, which totals 45 boots.
2. A lifeguard shares 96 arm floats equally among 8 pools. Each pool gets 12 floats.
An adjective describes a noun by telling what kind, how many, or which one. Words like "hot," "blue," and "tall" all describe nouns.
3. A rectangular splash pad is 9 feet long and 5 feet wide. Its area is 45 square feet.
27 divided by 3 equals 9 because 3 groups of 9 make 27. You can check: 3 times 9 = 27.
4. Five kayaks cost $40 each. The total cost is $200 .
The prefix "kilo" means one thousand, so one kilogram equals exactly 1,000 grams.
Part C: Short Answer
Answer each question in one or two complete sentences.
1. A summer camp bought 8 bags of marshmallows with 15 marshmallows each. They used 47 at the campfire. How many are left? Show your steps.
Sample answer: Step 1: 8 x 15 = 120 marshmallows total. Step 2: 120 - 47 = 73 marshmallows left.
True. 7 times 7 equals 49 because 7 groups of 7 make 49.
2. A story says "Fireflies blinked on and off as the crickets sang their evening song." What time of day is it? How do you know?
Sample answer: It is nighttime. Fireflies come out after dark and crickets sing loudly in the evening, so the clues show it is night.
False. 14 is actually less than 13 because when a whole is split into more pieces, each piece is smaller.
