Fourth graders warm up with three winter sentence-correction puzzles: Ella's skating fractions where 2/6 + 3/6 should be 5/6 (not 5/12), a sled trip where 1.3 + 0.6 equals 1.9 km (not 0.19), and a 48-ounce coat that weighs 3 pounds (not 4). The fix-it format makes the most common Grade 4 errors easy to spot.
Part B blanks ask for cocoa thermos fractions, fresh snow depth at 3.7 inches, and a 5-yard ribbon converted to feet. Two short-answer prompts close the page: subtracting Tom's pizza fractions and finding the main idea of a December skating sentence. Together these build careful checking habits across fractions, decimals, and reading.

Part A: Fix the Sentence
Each sentence has an error. Rewrite it correctly on the line.
1. Fix the sentence:
Ella skated 26 of a mile and then 36 more. She skated 512 of a mile because 26 + 36 = 512.
Rewrite: Ella skated 26 of a mile and then 36 more. She skated 56 of a mile because 26 + 36 = 56.
2. Fix the sentence:
A sled went 1.3 km downhill and 0.6 km on flat ground. It traveled 0.19 km because 1.3 + 0.6 = 0.19.
Rewrite: A sled went 1.3 km downhill and 0.6 km on flat ground. It traveled 1.9 km because 1.3 + 0.6 = 1.9.
3. Fix the sentence:
A winter coat weighs 48 ounces. That equals 4 pounds because 48 ÷ 16 = 4.
Rewrite: A winter coat weighs 48 ounces. That equals 3 pounds because 48 ÷ 16 = 3.
Part B: Fill in the Blank
Write the missing word or number on each line.
1. Jake drank 16 of a thermos of soup and then 46 more. He drank 56 of the thermos.
2. Snow was 2.3 inches deep. Another 1.4 inches fell. Total depth: 3.7 inches.
3. A wrapping paper roll is 5 yards long. That equals 15 feet.
4. A bag of marshmallows weighs 32 ounces. That equals 2 pounds.
Part C: Short Answer
Answer each question in one or two complete sentences.
1. Tom had 58 of a pizza. He ate 28 of the pizza. How much pizza is left? Show your work.
Step 1: 58 − 28 = 38 of the pizza. Tom has 38 of the pizza left.
2. Read: "Every December the town square fills with ice skaters gliding under twinkling lights." What is the main idea?
The main idea is that people enjoy ice skating in the town square during December. The twinkling lights show it is a festive, cheerful winter scene.
