Number 7 Skip Counting Maze Worksheet - Free Printable

The image shows a set of "Skip Counting by 7s Maze Worksheets" designed for children to practice counting in multiples of 7 while solving mazes. The goal is to help characters (like a frog, bee, or student) reach their destination by identifying and coloring the correct path made up of numbers that are multiples of 7.

Let’s break down how to solve one of these worksheets using the central worksheet as an example:

🔍 Worksheet Example: "Counting by 7s" – Frog to the Lake

#### 🧩 Directions:
> Count by 7s and color the path to help the frog find its way to the lake.

#### 🐸 Starting Point:
- A frog is at the top-left corner.
- The destination is a picture of a lake at the bottom-right.

#### 📊 Grid of Numbers:
```
| 7 | 57 | 58 | 101 |
|-----|-----|-----|-----|
| 28 | 21 | 14 | 70 | 61 | 75 |
|-----|-----|-----|-----|-----|-----|
| 35 | 42 | 49 | 56 | 63 | 70 |
|-----|-----|-----|-----|-----|-----|
| 36 | 53 | 8 | 91 | 84 | 77 |
|-----|-----|-----|-----|-----|-----|
| 3 | 28 | 105 | 98 | | |
```

We need to find the sequence of numbers divisible by 7, starting from 7, then 14, 21, 28, 35, 42, 49, 56, 63, 70, 77, 84, 91, 98, 105, etc.

✔ Step-by-Step Solution:

Start at 7 (top-left), then follow the path of multiples of 7.

Let’s trace the valid path:

1. 7 → (Top row)
2. Then go to 14 (row 2, column 3)
3. Then 21 (row 2, column 2)
4. Then 28 (row 2, column 1)
5. Then 35 (row 3, column 1)
6. Then 42 (row 3, column 2)
7. Then 49 (row 3, column 3)
8. Then 56 (row 3, column 4)
9. Then 63 (row 3, column 5)
10. Then 70 (row 3, column 6)
11. Then 77 (row 4, column 6)
12. Then 84 (row 4, column 5)
13. Then 91 (row 4, column 4)
14. Then 98 (row 5, column 4)
15. Then 105 (row 5, column 3)

Now, check if this path connects logically through adjacent cells (horizontally, vertically, or diagonally).

But wait — let's verify which cells are actually connected in the grid.

Looking at the layout:

- Start at 7 (top-left)
- Next should be 14? But 14 is below 7? No — 7 is in the top row, and 14 is in the second row, third column.

Wait — let’s re-express the grid clearly with positions:

```
Row 1: [ 7 ] [57] [58] [101]
Row 2: [28] [21] [14] [70] [61] [75]
Row 3: [35] [42] [49] [56] [63] [70]
Row 4: [36] [53] [8] [91] [84] [77]
Row 5: [3] [28] [105] [98]
```

So, the correct path must connect multiples of 7 in order.

Let’s list all multiples of 7 present in the grid:

- 7
- 14
- 21
- 28 (appears twice!)
- 35
- 42
- 49
- 56
- 63
- 70 (appears twice!)
- 77
- 84
- 91
- 98
- 105

Now, we want to trace a continuous path from 7 to 105 (near the lake), moving only to adjacent cells (up/down/left/right/diagonal).

Let’s try to build the path:

1. 7 → Start
2. From 7, can we go to 14?
- 7 is at (1,1), 14 is at (2,3) → not adjacent.
- Check neighbors of 7:
- Right: 57 (not multiple of 7)
- Down: 28 (yes! 28 ÷ 7 = 4) → Valid!

✔ So: 7 → 28 (down)

Now at 28 at (2,1)

From here:
- Up: 7 → already visited
- Right: 21 → 21 ÷ 7 = 3 → Yes!
- Down: 35 → 35 ÷ 7 = 5 → Yes!

So two options: 21 or 35

But we need to go toward the lake at bottom right.

Try:
- 28 → 21 → but 21 is at (2,2), then next could be 14? 14 is at (2,3), but 21 to 14 is backward (14 < 21). We’re counting upward.

So better to go:
- 28 → 35 (down) → (3,1)

Then:
- 35 → 42 (right) → (3,2)
- 42 → 49 (right) → (3,3)
- 49 → 56 (right) → (3,4)
- 56 → 63 (right) → (3,5)
- 63 → 70 (right) → (3,6)
- 70 → 77 (down) → (4,6)
- 77 → 84 (left) → (4,5)
- 84 → 91 (left) → (4,4)
- 91 → 98 (down) → (5,4)
- 98 → 105 (left) → (5,3)

And 105 is near the lake!

✔ Perfect!

So the correct path is:

> 7 → 28 → 35 → 42 → 49 → 56 → 63 → 70 → 77 → 84 → 91 → 98 → 105

All numbers are multiples of 7 and adjacent in the grid.

🎯 Final Answer:

To solve the maze:
- Start at 7
- Follow the path:
7 → 28 → 35 → 42 → 49 → 56 → 63 → 70 → 77 → 84 → 91 → 98 → 105
- Color these cells to create the path to the lake.

This teaches skip counting by 7s and reinforces number recognition.

🌟 Tips for Students:

- Know the multiplication table of 7:
7×1=7, 7×2=14, 7×3=21, ..., up to 7×15=105
- Look for numbers ending in 0, 1, 4, 7, or 8 (but not all such numbers are multiples of 7!)
- Use the pattern: each number increases by 7

✔ Summary:

These worksheets are excellent for practicing:
- Skip counting
- Multiplication facts
- Logical thinking
- Number recognition

By following the multiples of 7, students help the character reach its destination — making math fun and engaging!
