What does this worksheet teach?
⌄
Add positive and negative integers to find a path of positive sums only from Start to Finish. The directions on the page read: Write each sum on its line. Starting at Start, draw one path to Finish that goes through positive sums only. Move up, down, left or right, never on a diagonal. 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.
What math do these mazes practice?
⌄
Integer operations on six pages, plus percent problems in River Route Maze and unit rates in Highway Junction Maze.
Do the mazes have answer keys?
⌄
Yes, all 8 have one.
