TEKS 4.6D Worksheets — Grade 4 Classify two-dimensional figures based on the presence

Mia went to the State Fair of Texas with her family. They bought a giant turkey leg for $10 and a funnel cake for $5. How much did they spend in total?

1. $15 ✓
2. $10
3. $20

Lucia is visiting a citrus farm in the Rio Grande Valley. The farm has 12 rows of orange trees, and each row has 8 trees. If Lucia wants to pick oranges from 4 rows, how many orange trees will she pick from?

1. 32 ✓
2. 48
3. 36
4. 40

Why: To find the total number of orange trees Lucia will pick from, multiply the number of rows she plans to pick from (4) by the number of trees in each row (8). So, 4 × 8 = 32. Therefore, Lucia will pick from 32 orange trees.

Jacob visited Big Bend National Park and took pictures of several different shapes he saw during his hike. He saw 5 rectangles, 3 trapezoids, and 2 parallelograms. How many two-dimensional figures did Jacob see in total? Use the information below to answer the question.

1. 10 ✓
2. 8
3. 7
4. 9

Why: To find the total number of two-dimensional figures Jacob saw, add the number of each shape together: 5 (rectangles) + 3 (trapezoids) + 2 (parallelograms) = 10. Therefore, Jacob saw 10 figures in total.

Eduardo is exploring Enchanted Rock and wants to identify different shapes he sees while hiking. He notices 5 triangles, 3 rectangles, and 2 trapezoids in the rock formations. Which shape does Eduardo see the most?

1. triangles ✓
2. rectangles
3. trapezoids
4. none of the above

Why: To find out which shape Eduardo sees the most, we can compare the numbers. He sees 5 triangles, 3 rectangles, and 2 trapezoids. The most common shape he sees is triangles because 5 is greater than both 3 and 2.

Aisha is planning to help her family at their taco stand in Austin, Texas. They prepare 12 tacos for each batch they make. If they make 5 batches in one day, how many tacos do they prepare in total?

1. 60 ✓
2. 48
3. 72
4. 30

Why: To find the total number of tacos prepared, multiply the number of tacos in each batch (12) by the number of batches made (5). So, 12 * 5 equals 60. Therefore, Aisha's family prepares 60 tacos in total.

In Marfa, Texas, Ethan is arranging colorful flower pots to decorate his home for a festival. He has 24 flower pots and wants to place them in rows. If each row will have 6 flower pots, how many rows will Ethan be able to make?

1. 4 ✓
2. 6
3. 3
4. 5

Why: To find out how many rows Ethan can make with 24 flower pots, we can divide the total number of pots by the number of pots per row. So, we calculate 24 ÷ 6, which equals 4. Therefore, Ethan can make 4 rows of flower pots.
