3rd Grade Other: Jesus' Parables Practice Questions
Example 1:
The Parable of the Sower tells us about seeds falling in different places. Some seeds grew well because they landed on good soil.
If a farmer planted 10 seeds and 7 of them landed on good soil and grew, how many seeds did not grow on good soil?
If a farmer planted 10 seeds and 7 of them landed on good soil and grew, how many seeds did not grow on good soil?
Solution:
Let's figure this out!
- Total seeds planted: 10
- Seeds that grew on good soil: 7
- To find the seeds that did not grow on good soil, we subtract the seeds that grew from the total seeds.
- Calculation: 10 - 7 = 3
👉 So, 3 seeds did not grow on good soil. ✅
Example 2:
In the Parable of the Lost Sheep, a shepherd had 100 sheep. He lost 1 sheep.
How many sheep did the shepherd have left when he realized one was missing?
How many sheep did the shepherd have left when he realized one was missing?
Solution:
Let's solve this step-by-step:
- Starting number of sheep: 100
- Number of sheep lost: 1
- To find out how many were left, we subtract the lost sheep from the total.
- Calculation: 100 - 1 = 99
💡 The shepherd had 99 sheep left. ✅
Example 3:
The Parable of the Talents talks about servants given money to manage. One servant was given 5 talents, another 2, and a third 1.
If the first servant doubled his 5 talents, how many talents did he have in total?
If the first servant doubled his 5 talents, how many talents did he have in total?
Solution:
Let's find out how many talents the first servant had!
- Talents the first servant started with: 5
- He doubled his talents, which means he had 2 times the amount he started with.
- Calculation: 5 talents * 2 = 10 talents
👉 The first servant had 10 talents in total. ✅
Example 4:
In the Parable of the Mustard Seed, a tiny mustard seed grows into a very large plant.
If a gardener planted 12 mustard seeds, and 9 of them sprouted and grew into plants, how many seeds did not sprout?
If a gardener planted 12 mustard seeds, and 9 of them sprouted and grew into plants, how many seeds did not sprout?
Solution:
Let's count the seeds that didn't sprout!
- Total mustard seeds planted: 12
- Seeds that sprouted and grew: 9
- To find the seeds that did not sprout, we subtract the sprouted seeds from the total.
- Calculation: 12 - 9 = 3
💡 So, 3 seeds did not sprout. ✅
Example 5:
The Parable of the Good Samaritan teaches us to help others. Imagine you have 20 cookies to share. You share 5 with a friend and then 7 with another friend.
How many cookies do you have left to share with someone else?
How many cookies do you have left to share with someone else?
Solution:
Let's see how many cookies are left!
- Starting number of cookies: 20
- Cookies shared with the first friend: 5
- Cookies shared with the second friend: 7
- First, find the total cookies shared: 5 + 7 = 12 cookies
- Next, subtract the total shared cookies from the starting amount: 20 - 12 = 8 cookies
👉 You have 8 cookies left to share. ✅
Example 6:
The Parable of the Persistent Widow shows the importance of never giving up. If a woman asked for help 15 times and finally got help, and her neighbor asked for help 10 times and also got help, how many more times did the first woman ask for help than the second woman?
Solution:
Let's compare how many times they asked!
- Times the first woman asked: 15
- Times the second woman asked: 10
- To find out how many more times the first woman asked, we subtract the second woman's count from the first woman's count.
- Calculation: 15 - 10 = 5
💡 The first woman asked for help 5 more times than the second woman. ✅
Example 7:
The Parable of the Growing Seed tells us that good things can start small and grow. Imagine you are saving money for a toy. You start with 5. Each week, you save 2 more.
If you save for 4 weeks, how much money will you have saved in total (including your starting money)?
If you save for 4 weeks, how much money will you have saved in total (including your starting money)?
Solution:
Let's calculate your savings!
- Starting amount: 5
- Amount saved each week: 2
- Number of weeks you save: 4
- First, find out how much you save over 4 weeks: 2/week * 4 weeks = 8
- Then, add this to your starting amount: 5 + 8 = 13
👉 You will have saved a total of 13. ✅
Example 8:
The Parable of the Hidden Treasure teaches us that valuable things are worth searching for. Imagine you are looking for seashells on the beach. You find 3 large shells and then 4 medium shells. Later, you find 2 more small shells.
How many seashells did you find in total?
How many seashells did you find in total?
Solution:
Let's count all the beautiful shells you found!
- Large shells found: 3
- Medium shells found: 4
- Small shells found: 2
- To find the total, we add all the shells together.
- Calculation: 3 + 4 + 2 = 9
💡 You found a total of 9 seashells. ✅
