What is on the page

  • Page 1: a 5 by 5 grid of squares, with Start in the top left corner and Finish in the bottom right, a line for the answer at the top of each box and two lines for the question under it.
  • Page 2: the same on a 5 by 5 grid of hexagons, where each box touches six others.
  • Both grids carry the student instructions, a name and date line, and the rule under the maze: go back one square (one cell on the hexagons) if your answer is not next to you.
  • Page 3, for the teacher: a 20 row table from Start to Finish to plan the path box by box, with what each box shows, what it asks and the wrong answers for the boxes beside it.
