Winter Holiday Math & Reading
Part A: Fix the Sentence
Each sentence has an error. Rewrite it correctly on the line.
1. Fix the sentence:
A cookie recipe needs 12 cup of butter and 12 cup of sugar, so you need 24 cup of ingredients.
Rewrite: A cookie recipe needs 12 cup of butter and 12 cup of sugar, so you need 1 cup of ingredients.
2. Fix the sentence:
There are 8 cups in a gallon, so a half gallon holds 4 cups.
Rewrite: There are 16 cups in a gallon, so a half gallon holds 8 cups.
3. Fix the sentence:
If you triple a recipe that calls for 23 cup of flour, you need 69 cup of flour.
Rewrite: If you triple a recipe that calls for 23 cup of flour, you need 2 cups of flour.
Part B: Fill in the Blank
Write the missing word or number on each line.
1. A gingerbread recipe makes 36 cookies. If you cut it in half, you make 18 cookies.
2. One tablespoon equals 3 teaspoons. So 4 tablespoons equals 12 teaspoons.
3. A batch of fudge takes 45 minutes to cool. Three batches cooling one after another take 135 minutes total.
4. Flour, sugar, and eggs are common baking ingredients.
Part C: Short Answer
Answer each question in one or two complete sentences.
1. A holiday cookie recipe calls for 34 cup of brown sugar and 14 cup of white sugar. How much total sugar is needed? If you double the recipe, how much sugar do you need?
34 + 14 = 44 = 1 cup total. Doubling the recipe means 2 × 1 = 2 cups of sugar.
2. A bakery sells holiday cupcakes in boxes of 6. If the bakery made 84 cupcakes, how many full boxes can they fill? Explain your reasoning.
Divide 84 by 6: 84 ÷ 6 = 14. The bakery can fill 14 full boxes of cupcakes.
