The Moon is falling right now. So is Earth. That's not a typo, it's literally what an orbit is. Free gravity and orbit worksheets for World Space Week, two versions, going beyond "memorize the planets" into concepts usually saved for high school.

Our newest free printable, The Founder's Lost Fortune, is built for exactly the kind of kid who groans at a worksheet but will happily do thirty math problems if a treasure hunt is on the other side of them.

6 pre-algebra worksheets, each built around a different interest, video games, sports, racing, music, farming, and shopping. Percentages, ratios, and rates show up in almost all of them, but each theme also brings its own twist, farming adds real geometry, music adds fractions, video games even sneak in exponential thinking. No email required, just print and go.

If your student spends more time in the kitchen than at a desk, good news: they've been practicing pre-algebra the whole time without knowing it.

I still remember sitting at the kitchen table with my oldest, a little workbook open between us. I'd read a short sentence out loud, and he'd have to look at three or four pictures and circle the one that answered the question, or put an X through the one that didn't belong. It felt almost too simple to matter. But looking back now, after doing some version of this with all four of my kids, I think it was one of the best habits I built into our early years, and I didn't even fully realize what I was building at the time.
