How to play

  • You can complete these mazes on your own or work with someone else.

  • Your challenge is to determine the number sequence through the maze.

  • Use what you know about renaming and place value to justify the number you placed.

  • You do not need to follow the maze in sequential steps if you know the value of a place on the maze. For example, on a standard hundreds-chart, I know the number 2 boxes directly above 147 is 127.

Other ways to play

  • Change the value of the end square to tenths or hundredths.

Reflection

  • What helped you to determine the numbers on the maze?

  • How would your numbers change if it was a bottom-up hundreds chart?

  • Show me how you used your knowledge of the hundreds-chart to complete the maze.

  • How did you use your knowledge of patterns on the number charts to know where to place numbers?
