Solving Equations Maze
Objective: In this activity, students solve two step and multi-step equations in one variable. They begin with two-
step equations, then move to basic multi-step equations, and then conclude with multi-step equations with variables
on both sides.
How it works: Students navigate through a monster filled maze, solving equations to reveal the right path. If they
get the wrong answer, the next solution will feed them to a monster! Students need to solve 10 problems correctly to
complete the maze.
Directions: Just print and go! If you want, have students color in their path along the way. This works well as a
classwork or homework activity, and the answer choices let students check their work along the way.
Get in touch! If you have any questions, suggestions, or requests, please let me know! I really appreciate hearing
from you all and it always helps make these better! I bet you also have great ideas about new things to try…! You
can reach me any time at maraudersmath@gmail.com.
Also, if you like this… You’ll find lots of free activities like it at ChalkDoc.com. I’ve started to build a site that lets
you create custom worksheets or download ready to go activities like mazes, graph attacks, word scrambles, partner
work, and performance tasks. And if there’s any activity you want that you don’t see, just use the “Request New
Topic” button to ask me for it!
