This gentler winter set opens with three sentence fixes: Mia's cocoa subtraction where 4/5 − 1/5 leaves 3/5 (not 2/5), a snowplow covering 5.9 miles total (not 5.1), and a 64-ounce candle that weighs 4 pounds (not 5). Spotting each slip teaches fourth graders to slow down and double-check their arithmetic.
Fill-ins cover Sara's glitter jar at 7/10, a two-day snowstorm totaling 7.8 inches, and a 6-foot ribbon converted to 72 inches. Short-answer questions ask students to subtract gingerbread tray fractions and pull the main idea from a fire pit and marshmallows passage — bringing seasonal reading and math reasoning together.

Winter Holiday Math & Reading
Part A: Fix the Sentence
Each sentence has an error. Rewrite it correctly on the line.
1. Fix the sentence:
Mia had 45 of a cup of cocoa. She drank 15. She has 25 left because 45 − 15 = 25.
Rewrite: Mia had 45 of a cup of cocoa. She drank 15. She has 35 left because 45 − 15 = 35.
2. Fix the sentence:
A snowplow cleared 3.4 miles in the morning and 2.5 miles later. It cleared 5.1 miles because 3.4 + 2.5 = 5.1.
Rewrite: A snowplow cleared 3.4 miles in the morning and 2.5 miles later. It cleared 5.9 miles because 3.4 + 2.5 = 5.9.
3. Fix the sentence:
A holiday candle weighs 64 ounces. That equals 5 pounds because 64 ÷ 16 = 5.
Rewrite: A holiday candle weighs 64 ounces. That equals 4 pounds because 64 ÷ 16 = 4.
Part B: Fill in the Blank
Write the missing word or number on each line.
1. Sara used 310 of a jar of glitter and then 410 more. She used 710 of the jar.
2. A snowstorm dropped 4.6 inches on Monday and 3.2 inches on Tuesday. Total snowfall: 7.8 inches.
3. A gift ribbon is 6 feet long. That equals 72 inches.
4. Three friends each bring 2 quarts of cider. Total cider: 6 quarts.
Part C: Short Answer
Answer each question in one or two complete sentences.
1. A bakery made 78 of a tray of gingerbread. It sold 38 of a tray. How much is left? Show your work.
Step 1: 78 − 38 = 48 of the tray. Step 2: 48 simplifies to 12 of the tray.
2. Read: "Families gathered around the fire pit, roasting marshmallows as snowflakes drifted down." What is the main idea?
The main idea is that families are spending time together outdoors on a snowy winter evening. The fire pit and marshmallows show a warm, cozy holiday tradition.
