Order of operations maze | TPT - Free Printable

To solve the maze, we need to evaluate each mathematical expression along the path and ensure that the values match the given numbers in the maze. Let's carefully evaluate each expression step by step.

Step-by-Step Solution:

#### Start (6 + 3²):
1. Calculate \( 3^2 \):
\[
3^2 = 9
\]
2. Add 6:
\[
6 + 9 = 15
\]
So, the value is 15.

#### Next Path (4 + 4 - 2²):
1. Calculate \( 2^2 \):
\[
2^2 = 4
\]
2. Perform the operations:
\[
4 + 4 - 4 = 4
\]
So, the value is 4.

#### Next Path (6² - (5 - 4)):
1. Simplify inside the parentheses:
\[
5 - 4 = 1
\]
2. Calculate \( 6^2 \):
\[
6^2 = 36
\]
3. Subtract:
\[
36 - 1 = 35
\]
So, the value is 35.

#### Next Path (4² + 3³):
1. Calculate \( 4^2 \):
\[
4^2 = 16
\]
2. Calculate \( 3^3 \):
\[
3^3 = 27
\]
3. Add the results:
\[
16 + 27 = 43
\]
So, the value is 43.

#### Next Path ((8 - 3)²):
1. Simplify inside the parentheses:
\[
8 - 3 = 5
\]
2. Calculate \( 5^2 \):
\[
5^2 = 25
\]
So, the value is 25.

#### Next Path (2 · 4³):
1. Calculate \( 4^3 \):
\[
4^3 = 64
\]
2. Multiply by 2:
\[
2 \cdot 64 = 128
\]
So, the value is 128.

#### Next Path (2 · 5² · 3):
1. Calculate \( 5^2 \):
\[
5^2 = 25
\]
2. Multiply by 2 and 3:
\[
2 \cdot 25 \cdot 3 = 150
\]
So, the value is 150.

#### Next Path (6 + (4 - 1)²):
1. Simplify inside the parentheses:
\[
4 - 1 = 3
\]
2. Calculate \( 3^2 \):
\[
3^2 = 9
\]
3. Add 6:
\[
6 + 9 = 15
\]
So, the value is 15.

#### Next Path (7² + 2):
1. Calculate \( 7^2 \):
\[
7^2 = 49
\]
2. Add 2:
\[
49 + 2 = 51
\]
So, the value is 51.

Final Answer:

The correct path through the maze, following the evaluated expressions, leads to the End. The final answer is:

\[
\boxed{51}
\]
