This resource provides students with the opportunity to apply their understanding of how partitioning numbers to create comparison number sentences can assist in solving larger multiplication sums. They will love the challenge of problem solving whilst leading the alien to his spaceship!

Students are required to identify which partitioned number sentence matches the multiplication problem in the circle and highlight it. They must use the comparison number sentence to solve the problem and write the answer in the circle before moving through the maze to the next circle. Students will continue solving the problems until they reach the final circle at the end.

An answer sheet has been included.
