What does this worksheet teach?
⌄
Use absolute value and opposites to step across stones from Start to Finish with a rule card. The directions on the page read: Write the value of each stone on its line. Stones touch up, down, left or right. Follow the rule card from Start and draw your path to Finish. An answer key is included.
Can I use this mazes worksheet for homeschool or classroom?
⌄
Yes, both. We made it for 7th grade math puzzles, and it works the same at home or at school. At home, a student can work through it alone and then go over it with you, which shows quickly what is solid and what needs another look. In class it works as independent practice, homework or a warm-up, and you can print one copy or a full set.
