How to print a 4th of July math worksheet

The page opens on parade addition within 100. For another grade, open the Sheet type menu: kindergarten counts stars and balloons, grade 1 adds red, white and blue, and grade 4 decides what to do with a remainder. Choose 4, 6 or 8 under Problems, press Make a new sheet, then Print.

Flag math: stripes and stars

The flag sheets use the flag's real numbers. Grade 3 multiplies by the flag's three colors and its six white stripes, then divides by the seven red ones. Grade 5 divides by thirteen stripes and by fifty stars: 1,200 stars make 24 flags.

  • Nobody in a story lights a firework: every show is a town show watched from a hill.
  • Grade 3 can check each flag fact on a real flag: count the white stripes, then the red ones.

Kindergarten 4

  • Bike parade subtraction stories within 10 9 bikes line up and 4 ride away, so 5 are still in line. Pupils can draw the bikes and cross out the ones that leave.
  • Fourth of July stars: count how many stars in all A row of 4 stars and a row of 3 stars make 7 stars. Pupils touch each star as they count, then write the number.
  • Picnic blanket addition stories within 10 4 children sit on the blanket and 3 more sit down, so 7 children are on it. Read each story aloud and let pupils show it with counters.
  • Stars and balloons: count how many in all 3 stars and 2 balloons make 5 things. Counting two kinds of thing as one group is the first step toward adding.

Grade 1 3

Grade 2 2

  • Fireworks night subtraction stories within 100 The show has 84 fireworks and 36 have been set off, so 48 are left. Take away 30, then 6.
  • Fourth of July parade addition stories within 100 38 people walk in the parade and 25 ride on floats, so 63 people are in it. Add the tens, then the ones: 50 and 13.

Grade 3 4

  • Parade wagons and picnic trays: multiplication stories 6 wagons each carry 8 children, so 48 children ride. Draw the wagons as rows and count by 8s.
  • Seven red stripes: facts to divide Each flag has seven red stripes. A class that paints 56 red stripes has painted 8 flags, because 56 ÷ 7 = 8.
  • Sharing the picnic: division stories within 100 42 cupcakes split equally between 6 plates is 7 cupcakes a plate. Check by multiplying: 6 × 7 = 42.
  • Three colors and six white stripes: facts to multiply The flag has three colors, so 8 pins with a bead of each color take 24 beads. Six of its stripes are white, so 7 flags have 42.

Grade 4 2

  • Floats and bunting: 2 digits by 1 digit A string of bunting has 36 flags, so 7 strings have 252. Split it: 7 × 30 = 210 and 7 × 6 = 42.
  • Trolley trips and fireworks racks: what happens to the remainder? 52 people take a trolley that holds 6: 52 ÷ 6 = 8 R 4, so 9 trips are needed. Each story asks for a different part of the answer.

Grade 5 3

  • Fifty stars: divide by 50 Each flag has fifty stars, so 1,200 stars make 24 flags: 1,200 ÷ 50 = 24. Dividing by 50 is doubling, then dividing by 100.
  • Fireworks show multiplication: 2 digits by 2 digits A show sets off 16 shells a minute for 25 minutes, which is 400 shells. Use an area model or the standard method.
  • Thirteen stripes: divide by 13 A flag has thirteen stripes, so 325 stripes make 25 flags: 325 ÷ 13 = 25. Estimate first with 13 × 20 = 260.

How this list was compiled: The stories, their wording and the teaching notes are our own work. The numbers are drawn fresh for every sheet and each answer key is worked out from the numbers printed on that sheet. The facts about the flag were checked on 2026-09-30 at https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flag_of_the_United_States: thirteen stripes that alternate red and white and start with red (so seven red and six white, each white stripe between two red ones), one stripe for each of the thirteen colonies, fifty five-pointed white stars on a blue field, one for each state, and so three colors. Every other number in a story (pies, bikes, rockets, chairs) is invented. Licence: own work
