You're looking at a
4th Grade “Add & Subtract Fractions & Mixed Numbers” math maze. The goal is to
solve each fraction problem and follow the correct answer path from START to END.
Since the image shows only one maze (and mentions “6 Math Mazes” in the title), I’ll solve
this specific maze step-by-step, tracing the correct path from start to finish.

## 🔍 STEP 1: Understand the Maze Rules
- Start at the box labeled
“START” with the problem:
>
1/3 + 1/3
- Solve the problem → get the answer → follow the line labeled with that answer to the next box.
- Continue until you reach the
END (which appears to be the bottom-right box:
3/8 + 2/8 — but we’ll confirm).

## 🧮 STEP 2: Solve Each Problem Along the Correct Path
Let’s begin at
START:
---
➤ START: 1/3 + 1/3 = 2/3
✔ Answer:
2/3
→ Follow the
blue path labeled
2/3 to the next box.
---
➤ Next Box: 3/8 + 1/8 = 4/8
✔ Answer:
4/8 (can simplify to 1/2, but maze uses 4/8)
→ Follow the
green path labeled
4/8 to the next box.
---
➤ Next Box: 5/9 + 2/9 = 7/9
✔ Answer:
7/9
→ Follow the
purple path labeled
7/9 to the next box.
---
➤ Next Box: 4/6 + 1/6 = 5/6
✔ Answer:
5/6
→ Follow the
blue path labeled
5/6 to the next box.
---
➤ Next Box: 5/8 – 1/8 = 4/8
✔ Answer:
4/8
→ Follow the
pink path labeled
4/8 to the next box.
---
➤ Next Box: 7/9 – 6/9 = 1/9
✔ Answer:
1/9
→ Follow the
green path labeled
1/9 to the next box.
---
➤ Next Box: 3/8 + 2/8 = 5/8
✔ Answer:
5/8
→ This looks like the
END! There’s no further path from here, and it matches the last visible box in the maze.

##
✔ FINAL PATH SUMMARY (from START to END):
1.
START: 1/3 + 1/3 =
2/3 → blue path
2. 3/8 + 1/8 =
4/8 → green path
3. 5/9 + 2/9 =
7/9 → purple path
4. 4/6 + 1/6 =
5/6 → blue path
5. 5/8 – 1/8 =
4/8 → pink path
6. 7/9 – 6/9 =
1/9 → green path
7.
END: 3/8 + 2/8 =
5/8
---
## 🎯 Answer:
The correct path through the maze is:
>
START → 1/3 + 1/3 → 3/8 + 1/8 → 5/9 + 2/9 → 4/6 + 1/6 → 5/8 – 1/8 → 7/9 – 6/9 → 3/8 + 2/8 (END)

## 💡 Teaching Tip for 4th Graders:
This maze reinforces:
- Adding/subtracting fractions
with like denominators
- Simplifying fractions (optional, but good practice)
- Following directions and logical reasoning
You can have students color the path as they solve, or write answers in each box to show their work!

✔ Solved! You’ve successfully navigated the 4th-grade fraction maze. 🎉
Parent Tip: Review the logic above to help your child master the concept of adding and subtracting mixed numbers with like denominators worksheet.
