These engaging number maze worksheets help students develop numeral recognition and strengthen their problem-solving skills as they navigate a path of specific numbers to reach the treasure. The activity also includes number tracing to reinforce correct numeral formation, making it a fun and effective way to practice early numeracy.

 

How to Complete:

 

1. Identify the Number: Students begin by identifying the target number (in the grey box).
2. Follow the Number: Students follow the path of target numbers to reach the treasure, shading boxes along the way.
3. Trace the Number: After completing the maze, students will trace the target number in the spaces provided at the bottom of the page.
