Instructions: Read each problem carefully. Look at each thermometer picture when one is shown. Write your answer on the line.
  1. 1

    The thermometer shows 10°F. Write the temperature.

    The temperature is 10°F.
  2. 2

    The thermometer shows 80°F. Is this hot or cold?

    A bigger number usually means a warmer temperature.

    80°F is hot.
  3. 3

    Circle the colder temperature: 30°F or 70°F.

    30°F is colder than 70°F.
  4. 4

    The thermometer shows 50°F. Write the temperature.

    Find the number next to the top of the red liquid.

    The temperature is 50°F.
  5. 5

    Circle the warmer temperature: 60°F or 20°F.

    60°F is warmer than 20°F.
  6. 6

    The thermometer shows 0°F. Is this hot or cold?

    Temperatures near 0°F are very cold.

    0°F is cold.
  7. 7

    A sunny day is 90°F. A snowy day is 20°F. Which day is warmer?

    The sunny day is warmer because 90°F is greater than 20°F.
  8. 8

    The thermometer shows 40°F. Write the temperature.

    Count by tens on the thermometer scale.

    The temperature is 40°F.
  9. 9

    Put these temperatures in order from coldest to warmest: 70°F, 10°F, 40°F.

    Start with the smallest number.

    The temperatures in order from coldest to warmest are 10°F, 40°F, and 70°F.
  10. 10

    The thermometer shows 100°F. Is this hot or cold?

    100°F is hot.
  11. 11

    Circle the colder temperature: 45°F or 15°F.

    The smaller number is the colder temperature.

    15°F is colder than 45°F.
  12. 12

    The thermometer shows 30°F. Write the temperature.

    The temperature is 30°F.
  13. 13

    A cup of cocoa is 80°F. A glass of water is 50°F. Which drink is warmer?

    Compare the two numbers.

    The cup of cocoa is warmer because 80°F is greater than 50°F.
  14. 14

    The thermometer shows 60°F. Write the temperature.

    The temperature is 60°F.
  15. 15

    Draw a thermometer that shows 20°F.

    Start at the bottom and stop at 20°F.

    The thermometer should have the red liquid filled up to the 20°F mark.
