This engaging maze activity helps students practice simplifying radical expressions and rational exponents by following the correct answers from start to finish.

- Start at $ \sqrt[5]{32} $. Since $ 32 = 2^5 $, this simplifies to $ 2 $.
- The path leads to $ (\sqrt{36})^3 $. Since $ \sqrt{36} = 6 $, this is $ 6^3 = 216 $.
- The path leads to $ 64^{1/3} $. Since $ 64 = 4^3 $, this is $ (4^3)^{1/3} = 4 $.
- The path leads to $ (\sqrt{4})^{-3} $. Since $ \sqrt{4} = 2 $, this is $ 2^{-3} = \frac{1}{8} $.
- The path leads to $ 4^{-1/2} $. This is $ \frac{1}{4^{1/2}} = \frac{1}{\sqrt{4}} = \frac{1}{2} $.
- The path leads to $ 256^{3/4} $. Since $ 256 = 4^4 $, this is $ (4^4)^{3/4} = 4^3 = 64 $.
- The path leads to "FINISHED!".
