Free Printable Math Maze Generator

Trace the only path from START to END, applying every math operation you pass through. There's one correct route — and the final answer printed at the exit is the proof you solved it. Decoy operations look exactly like real ones, so trace carefully!

How to use the math maze

  • Easy (6×8, 3 ops, no ×): first graders just getting comfortable with adding and subtracting within 30.
  • Medium (8×10, 4 ops, with ×): grades 2–3, mixed operations including small multiplication facts.
  • Hard (10×13, 5 ops): grade 4 and up, or a strong third-grader who likes a puzzle.
  • Tip: decoy operations look exactly like the real ones — only the circles on the true route count, so tracing matters!

Tips for grown-ups

  • Click New math maze for a fresh puzzle — each seed gives a different maze and operation sequence.
  • Toggle Show solution path before printing if you want a teacher answer key.
  • Print on plain paper. A pencil works best so kids can erase if they take a wrong turn.
