This worksheet helps introduce students to probability and odds while having fun with a delicious treat - M & Ms! Each student gets their own bag of M & Ms (you determine the size) and counts out the total number, then the number in each color group. Worksheet contains tables to fill in totals, along with instructions for each step of determining probability. Students also have a separate table to compare their results to a neighbor.

This activity allows students to create their dream school by drawing the blueprints for a new school after their old one was destroyed. Students use a scale model, graph paper, rulers, and pencils to draw the model. Students must list the measurements (in inches and in feet) on the back, as well as on a separate sheet (included) that has a space for the room name and the measurements.

Instructions for creating basic factor trees. Picture examples included. Student creativity is encouraged - this could be used around the holidays with Christmas trees, or in April for Earth Day.

14 different writing prompts of varying topics - main focus on middle grades experiences. No rubrics or requirements - feel free to use or set your own.
