Students fix three winter errors — 1/3 + 1/3 = 2/6, a decimal subtraction giving 0.6 instead of 0.8, and 250 cm converted to 25 m. Part B has four fill-in-the-blank questions about ribbon fractions, tree height growth, and minute-to-hour conversion. Part C has two short-answer questions about decimal shoveling totals and the snowman sentence's main idea.
Decimal subtraction and metric conversion errors appear alongside the like-denominator fraction skill — reviewing the three most tested Grade 4 skills.

Winter Holiday Math & Reading
Part A: Fix the Sentence
Each sentence has an error. Rewrite it correctly on the line.
1. Fix the sentence:
Ben ate 13 of a pie and 13 more. He ate 26 of a pie because 13 + 13 = 26.
Rewrite: Ben ate 13 of a pie and 13 more. He ate 23 of a pie because 13 + 13 = 23.
2. Fix the sentence:
An icicle measured 1.2 meters. It melted 0.4 meters. Its new length is 0.6 meters because 1.2 − 0.4 = 0.6.
Rewrite: An icicle measured 1.2 meters. It melted 0.4 meters. Its new length is 0.8 meters because 1.2 − 0.4 = 0.8.
3. Fix the sentence:
A ribbon is 250 centimeters. That equals 25 meters because 250 ÷ 100 = 25.
Rewrite: A ribbon is 250 centimeters. That equals 2.5 meters because 250 ÷ 100 = 2.5.
Part B: Fill in the Blank
Write the missing word or number on each line.
1. Noah used 38 of a ribbon and his sister used 28 more. Together they used 58 of the ribbon.
2. A tree is 1.5 meters tall. After growing 0.5 meters, it is 2 meters tall.
3. A winter movie lasts 120 minutes. That equals 2 hours.
4. Five holiday cards cost $6 each. The total cost is $30.
Part C: Short Answer
Answer each question in one or two complete sentences.
1. Amy shoveled 0.7 meters of snow. Then she shoveled 0.5 meters more. How many meters did she shovel? Show your steps.
Step 1: 0.7 + 0.5 = 1.2 meters. Amy shoveled 1.2 meters of snow in total.
2. Read: "The children laughed as they built a snowman with a carrot nose." What is the main idea?
The main idea is that children were having fun building a snowman. The carrot nose detail shows the happy, playful mood of their activity.
