Using probability tree diagrams to teach probability is helpful - but sometimes kids need a little practice with them. This worksheet has 11 probability tree diagrams to be "worked" as puzzles. This gives students practice filling them in and understanding the dynamics. Once they have this practice, they can effectively use probability trees diagrams as tools. Make sure you also download my Probability Trees Explained free "cheat sheet."

It kills me when students mess up prime factorizations because of bad handwriting. They think they're bad at it when really they just need a little help neatening things up. So I created this handy graphic organizer to help out. Check out bit.ly/prime-factorizations to see examples of how it works.

A clear explanation of how math homework should be written. This is in the proper layout to print, laminate and put together on a ring. Click here to read more about it on MathFour.com.

Students struggle with comparing their work to an example. This activity helps them learn to dig into solutions and compare them - seeing where there are commonalities and where there are differences. (Note, they don't have to know anything about algebra to do this - it's merely a comparing exercise.) Give it a try and let me know how it can improve. I'm deploying this today! ~Bon
