Fun Addition and Subtraction Mazes

There are six mazes included in the resource. Choose to give all your students the same maze to work on at the same time or provide a mix of all six. They are a perfect activity for a maths group rotation any time of year! The combination of basic operations and logical thinking will keep your students engaged while you can focus on guided maths.

Answers for each maze are included in the resource. Coloured lines are used to indicate the path of each shape. It is suggested that these pages be printed in colour or viewed digitally.

Extending Beyond the Math Maze

There are multiple ways to extend students on each maze. Here are some suggestions:

• Have students write a multi-step word problem for each path the shapes take to successfully complete the maze.
• Give students the task of finding the path with each shape leaving with the maximum and minimum possible numbers.

A-maze-ing! (*Not associated with the incredibly nostalgic kids’ game show of the ’90s.)
