Grade 3
Spooky Candy Math Solutions
Standards: 3.OA.D.8, 3.NBT.A.1
1. Candy Math
\(8 + 5 = \mathbf{13}\) pieces.
Partner Problem: Look for clear addition or subtraction within 20 or equal groups within 100.
2. True or False?
A: False. \(6 + 7 = \mathbf{13}\), not 14. (Correction: 13 pumpkins).
B: True. \(3 \times 4 = \mathbf{12}\) glow sticks.
3. Estimation
9 rounds to 10; 11 rounds to 10.
Estimate: \(10 + 10 = \mathbf{20}\).
Exact: \(9 + 11 = \mathbf{20}\) pumpkins.
Grade 4
Haunted Numbers Solutions
Standards: 4.OA.A.3, 4.NBT.B.5
1. Candy Math
\(48 \div 6 = \mathbf{8}\) pieces per friend.
Partner Problem: Verify two operations (e.g., multiplication then subtraction).
2. True or False?
A: True. Both \(6 \times 8 = 48\) and \(4 \times 12 = 48\).
B: False. \(340 + 275 = \mathbf{615}\), not 515 (regrouping tens to hundreds error).
3. Estimation
19 rounds to 20; 21 rounds to 20.
Estimate: \(20 \times 20 = \mathbf{400}\).
Exact: \(19 \times 21 = \mathbf{399}\) pieces.
Difference: only 1 piece!

Standards: 5.NBT.B.7, 5.NF.B.4
1. Candy Math
\(25\% = \frac{1}{4} = 0.25\).
Donated: \(120 \times 0.25 = 30\).
Remaining: \(120 - 30 = \mathbf{90}\) pieces (or \(75\% \times 120 = \mathbf{90}\)).
2. True or False?
A: False. \(0.5 + 0.8 = \mathbf{1.3}\) lbs, not 1.2 lbs (common error: treating decimals like whole numbers).
B: True. \(\frac{3}{4} \times 60 = 3 \times 15 = \mathbf{45}\) vials.
3. Estimation
198 rounds to 200 guests.
Estimate: \((200 \times 3) + 50 = \mathbf{650}\).
Exact: \((198 \times 3) + 50 = 594 + 50 = \mathbf{644}\).
