Instructions (select arrow)

  • Your challenge is to figure out the missing numbers in the number chart maze.

  • Chose one of the number charts from the maze activity worksheet.

  • Use what you know to decide what numbers are missing.

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

Hint! You do not need to follow the maze in sequential steps.
For example, I know that on a standard hundreds- hart, the number 2 boxes above 147 is 127.

  • What helped you figure out the numbers on the maze?

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

  • Explain how you used your knowledge of a hundreds chart to complete the maze.

  • How did you use your knowledge of patterns to help you?
