Maze: medium (ages 6-7)
How to use this worksheet
- Use a phone stopwatch or a kitchen timer and write today's date next to the first maze.
- Start the clock when the pencil touches the entrance, stop it at the exit and write the time in the margin.
- The next day, solve the second maze and compare the two times, adding a ten-second penalty for each wall crossed.
What this worksheet teaches
The medium 108-cell grid is big enough that careful scanning pays off, so a child quickly finds that the fastest times come from looking ahead, not from rushing. Recording times introduces simple measurement and the comparison of numbers. Racing against their own earlier result also teaches that improvement is something you can see and track.
Play idea
Make a small 'personal best' chart on the back of the sheet with two columns: the date and the time. When you print another medium set later, add a row; after a week or two, your child can see whether the times are generally going down.
