1 Number Search Use the number chart below to answer each question. Use only adjacent digits, that is, digits next to each other, in a row or column to make a number. Rows are read left to right. Columns are read top to bottom. 1-1 V I S U A L T H I N K I N G K L M N O P Q R S T A B C D F columns G rows H I J Which column has the four-digit number of the least value? 2. Which row has the longest string of numbers in counting order? 3. Which row has the three-digit number of the greatest value? 4. In what column can the palindrome with the greatest number of digits be found? (A palindrome is a number that reads the same forward and backward) 5. Which row has the longest string of odd numbers in counting order? 6. In what row can the palindrome with the greatest number of digits be found? 7. Which column has the longest string of numbers in consecutive order? 8. Which row has the five-digit number of the least value? Scott Foresman, Gr. 5 (3) Use with Chapter 1, Lesson 1.

Which number sentence would you use to find out how much longer this orbit takes than the orbit of Mercury? a b c Which planet is closest to Venus? Mercury Venus arth Average distance from the Sun about 36 about 67 about 93 (millions of miles) Revolution around the Sun (days) 88.0 days days days Mass (arth 1) Diameter at quator 3,031 mi 7,521 mi 7,926 mi 6. Which numbers given in the table are estimates? xplain how you know. 7. One calendar year on arth is 365 days, except for leap years, when the year has 366 days. Are 365 and 366 estimates of the actual time it takes arth to revolve around the sun? xplain. Scott Foresman, Gr. 5 (6) Use with Chapter 1, Lesson 2.

3 Picture This 1. In the space below, draw a picture made of geometric forms such as lines, angles, and circles. The picture at the right is an example.

6 Planet Placement 1-6 R A S O N I N G Clark has a model of the solar system with nine planets. He keeps the planets in a box, each planet in a separate drawer. Use the clues below to find out where each planet goes. Neptune goes in the top right-hand drawer. Pluto goes in a drawer on the same level as Neptune. arth goes above Jupiter. Mercury goes two columns to the left or right of Jupiter. Venus, Uranus, and Mars are all in one column, in alphabetical order. Mercury goes directly below Saturn. Mercury is in a corner diagonally opposite Neptune. Use a pencil and write the name of each planet on the drawer where it belongs. Hint: The clues are not in the order you will use them. Scott Foresman, Gr. 5 (18) Use with Chapter 1, Lesson 6.
