Number 1 Maze Worksheets (teacher made) - Twinkl - Free Printable

To solve these "Number Mazes," you need to find a continuous path from the Start square to the Finish square. You can only move through squares that contain the specific target number or item listed in the instructions for each maze. You cannot move diagonally; you must move up, down, left, or right.

Here is the step-by-step solution for each of the four mazes shown:

Maze 1 (Left): Find the Number 1

Goal: Connect the Start (Teddy Bear) to the Finish (Picnic) by moving only through squares with the number 1.

1. Start at the top-left corner (Row 1, Column 1).
2. Move Down to Row 2, Column 1 (contains a 1).
3. Move Down to Row 3, Column 1 (contains a 1).
4. Move Right to Row 3, Column 2 (contains a 1).
5. Move Right to Row 3, Column 3 (contains a 1).
6. Move Right to Row 3, Column 4 (contains a 1).
7. Move Down to Row 4, Column 4 (contains a 1).
