What does this worksheet teach?
⌄
Subtract integers to open doors whose differences match their keys and route from Start to Exit. The directions on the page read: Write each door's difference on its line. A door opens only if its difference equals the number on its key. Draw your route from Start to Exit through open doors only. 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.
How do math mazes work?

Students solve a problem in each cell or at each fork, and the answer tells them where to go next.
