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 vendor sold 6 kites at $14 each. She earned $82 because 6 x 14 = 82.
Corrected: A vendor sold 6 kites at $14 each. She earned $84 because 6 x 14 = 84.
"Me and my brother" should be "My brother and I" because "I" is the subject doing the action. Also, "saturday" needs a capital S because days of the week are always capitalized.
2. Fix the sentence:
Tom ate 38 of a watermelon and his mom ate 28 more. Together they ate 516 of the watermelon.
Corrected: Tom ate 38 of a watermelon and his mom ate 28 more. Together they ate 58 of the watermelon.
36 divided by 4 equals 9, not 8. You can verify: 4 times 9 = 36.
3. Fix the sentence:
A camp shared 132 granola bars equally among 11 hikers. Each hiker got 11 bars because 132 / 11 = 11.
Corrected: A camp shared 132 granola bars equally among 11 hikers. Each hiker got 12 bars because 132 / 11 = 12.
48 simplifies to 12, not 14. Divide both the numerator and denominator by 4: 4 divided by 4 is 1, and 8 divided by 4 is 2.
Part B: Fill in the Blank
Write the missing word or number on each line.
1. A park rents 9 canoes at $8 each. The total rental cost is $72 .
8 times 6 equals 48. Think of it as 8 groups of 6 goggles, which gives 48 goggles total.
2. A bag holds 60 water balloons. If split equally among 5 kids, each gets 12 balloons.
The setting tells readers where and when a story happens, like a beach in summer or a castle long ago.
3. A summer garden has 0.4 acres of flowers and 0.35 acres of vegetables. It covers 0.75 acres in all.
63 divided by 7 equals 9 because 7 times 9 is 63.
4. A square picnic blanket has sides of 7 feet. Its perimeter is 28 feet.
The prefix "milli" means one thousandth, so there are 1,000 milliliters in every liter.
Part C: Short Answer
Answer each question in one or two complete sentences.
1. A farm stand has 4 crates with 36 peaches each. After selling 59 peaches, how many remain? Show your steps.
Sample answer: Step 1: 4 x 36 = 144 peaches total. Step 2: 144 - 59 = 85 peaches remain.
True. 6 times 9 equals 54 because 6 groups of 9 make 54.
2. A passage says "Drops of sweat rolled down her forehead as she pedaled uphill under the blazing sun." What season is it? Explain your thinking.
Sample answer: It is summer. The blazing sun and sweat are clues that the weather is very hot, which happens in summer.
False. 28 simplifies to 14, not 12. Divide both 2 and 8 by 2 to get 14.
