Math Mazes (Addition and Subtraction)

May 4, 2016

Math fact fluency has been something my second graders have always needed to practice, but I was tired of them practicing in the same, boring ways.  I was looking for a way to keep things fresh and exciting, but still provide a way for meaningful practice.  I decided to combine their love for mazes with math fact practice.  That’s when I created a set of math mazes!

Math fact fluency has been something my second graders have always needed to practice, but I was tired of them practicing in the same, boring ways.  I was looking for a way to keep things fresh and exciting, but still provide a way for meaningful practice.  I decided to combine their love for mazes with math fact practice.  That's when I created a set of math mazes!

ADDITION AND SUBTRACTION MATH MAZES

There are 10 addition and 10 subtraction mazes for students to use.  You can choose the set of facts you want your students to practice.  No matter the page, students must determine whether each math fact is true or false.  The goal is for the students to find their way from start to finish by following the true math facts.

Students can complete these pages in different ways.  The easiest way is to print and give to your students to complete.  They can use crayons or colored pencils and color the boxes in along as they discover the correct path.  This makes the pages easy to use in class or to send home for additional practice.

You could also print the pages onto cardstock and slip inside a sheet protector (or laminate).  One of the benefits to this is that the pages can be reused many times and you can save your copies.  These work great in a center or for fast finishers.

Each page comes with an answer key:

If you choose to use the sheet protectors, slip the answer key into the sheet protector, on top of the student’s page.  Then you’ll be able to see whether the two paths match or not.

My favorite library find this week combines friend My favorite library find this week combines friendship and adventure with a story about how paper is made.

Under a tree, a boy with a book and girl with a paper plane meet and play over the course of a wonderful day. Then they are parted - perhaps never to meet again. 

Soon their tree is felled and starts a new journey to become paper to make hundreds of different things...including a book for a girl and a notepad for a boy. 

Can a new paper plane find its way to reunite the friends again?

⭐️ Not only would this story be a great addition to your friendship collection, but you might want to check it out before Earth Day since it also explains how paper is made.

As teachers and parents, we want our kids to be ki As teachers and parents, we want our kids to be kind to others. Through books, we can show students how to see the good in others, how to be there for other people, how to help others feel included, how to be kind even when it is hard, and how spreading kindness can come back around.

In other words, books can help us send the message that kindness is important and something we value.

My favorite library find this week might surprise My favorite library find this week might surprise you, especially if you know how much I don’t like spiders! This one combines amazing artwork with a meaningful message, which makes it a must-read!

Kiara spent her days spinning webs to catch lunch. One day an extraordinary web catches her eye, and she becomes determined to create something just as amazing. Unfortunately, with every new creation comes someone (or something) that carelessly destroys her hard work. 

“HEY! I WORKED HARD ON THAT!”

Then Kiara meets Orb, a weaver, who helps her gain a fresh perspective - one that shifts the focus away from the result and towards the journey (and friends) she can make along the way.

But in big groups - like at school, birthday parties, even the ice cream truck - he doesn’t love feeling like other people are looking at him, and it’s really hard talking to other people. Everyone tells Sammy not to be so shy. But one day, it gets so hard and scary that he starts to turn pink, and then pinker…until he’s bright pink ALL OVER! Then he doesn’t want to see anyone or do anything. But hiding out-alone-isn’t very fun. Can Sammy learn how to tackle his fears - and go back to his usual color?
