Tougher winter problems test fourth-grade reasoning: Dan paying $105 after using a $20 coupon on five $25 gift cards, finding the 12 gold ornaments in a 36-piece box that is 2/6 gold, converting a 4,200-meter snowshoe trail to 4.2 kilometers, and choosing the author's purpose for a passage explaining how snow forms. Each question rewards reading the whole problem before solving.
Blanks bring twelve $7 candles plus a $19 wreath totaling $103, three-eighths of 40 students choosing snowboarding, a candle burning from 8.5 to 4.6 cm, quarts-to-pints conversion, and writing 75/100 as 0.75. A solid stretch in money, fractions, and decimals.
