Summer Review Sheets — Answer Key
Part A: Fill in the Blank
Write the missing word or number on each line.
1. A camp charges $35 per camper. After 6 campers sign up, it earns $210.
Six campers paying $35 each gives 6 x 35 = 210, so the camp earns $210.
2. The order of events in a summer story is called the plot.
Plot describes the sequence of events in a story, showing what happens from beginning to middle to end.
3. A shop packs 252 popsicles equally into 7 freezers. Each freezer holds 36 pops.
Splitting 252 popsicles equally into 7 freezers means 252 / 7 = 36 pops per freezer.
4. The person telling the story in first person is the narrator.
When a story uses I to describe events, the speaker telling it is the narrator.
5. Eight summer camps each have 32 tents. Together they have 256 tents.
Eight camps with 32 tents each combine into 8 x 32 = 256 tents in all.
6. The most important point of a passage is called the main idea.
The main idea is the most important point an author wants the reader to take away from the passage.
7. A lifeguard divides 180 whistles into 6 equal boxes. Each box has 30 whistles.
Dividing 180 whistles into 6 equal boxes gives 180 / 6 = 30 whistles per box.
8. A guess about what will happen next in a story is called a prediction.
A prediction is an educated guess about what might happen next, based on clues already given in the story.
9. Four families each spend $45 on beach gear. Together they spend $180.
Four families spending $45 each totals 4 x 45 = 180, so together they spend $180.
