    About Math Maze

    An exciting reward game where maths meets adventure. Solve arithmetic problems correctly to navigate through the maze and reach the finish. This game is unlocked after earning 10 stars in other games, giving children a motivating goal to work towards.

    Skills Practised

    • Mixed arithmetic operations
    • Problem-solving under challenge
    • Strategic navigation
    • Perseverance
    • Applied maths thinking

    How to Play

    This game unlocks after earning 10 stars. Once unlocked, solve maths problems at each junction to choose the correct path through the maze.

    Top Tip

    Take your time at each junction. Getting the answer wrong might send you down a longer path, so double-check before you choose.

    In the real world

    Maze games combine two essential cognitive skills: mathematical problem-solving and spatial reasoning. Research shows that children who regularly engage with spatial reasoning activities (navigating paths, visualising routes) perform better in mathematics overall. The reward structure of this game — unlocked through effort in other games — also teaches children that persistence has tangible payoffs.

    Who Should Play This?

    The Maths Maze is suitable for children aged 6 and above who have earned 10 stars in other games. It provides most value for Grades 2-5 (ages 7-11) when mixed arithmetic skills are being consolidated.

    Tips for Parents and Teachers

    • Use the unlocking structure as motivation: 'Let's earn a few more stars so we can unlock the maze game!'
    • Discuss the strategies for navigating a maze: 'Should we go left or right? What information helps us decide?'
    • Connect to real-world navigation: reading maps, following routes, understanding directions
    • Celebrate the effort of earning the stars, not just the unlocking of the game itself

    Common Difficulties

    Children who rush through the maze without checking their answers quickly find themselves lost on longer routes. Encourage the habit of double-checking each answer before committing to a direction. This deliberate checking habit — pausing to verify before acting — is valuable across all areas of mathematical problem-solving.
