Free printable activities for 11 and 12 year olds

Eleven and twelve year olds are on the bridge between elementary and middle school. Pre-algebra (variables, simple equations, order of operations), ratios and proportions, decimals to thousandths, and longer multi-step word problems all belong on the table.

Reading and writing get more demanding too. Multi-paragraph passages, paragraph-writing prompts, persuasive-essay outlines, and vocabulary-in-context exercises challenge them without feeling babyish — which matters at this age.

For breaks: medium and hard sudoku, logic grids, code-breaking pages, and 20×20 mazes. Tweens want to feel respected, so skip anything that looks designed for younger kids — the printables here are all picked with that in mind.
