- Grade level
- Grades K–1
- Time
- About 15 minutes
- Answer key
- Yes, page 2 of the PDF
- Kids practice
- Writing numbers, Number recognition, One-to-one counting, Fine motor control
What kids do
“Start at 1. Color 2, then 3, then 4… all the way to 20 to reach the Finish.”
Teacher tip
Ask kids to say each number before they color the square, so the maze becomes counting practice.
How to use it
- Use a fat crayon or a triangle pencil for kids who still grip with a fist.
- Model each number in the air first, saying the stroke out loud: “Down, and around.”
- Do the first problem together under a document camera, then let kids finish on their own.
Watch for
Reversals of 2, 3, 5, 7 and 9 are normal at this age. Point to the start dot and model again rather than marking it wrong.
Talk about it
- Where does this number start, at the top or the bottom?
- Which problem was the hardest? What made it hard?
Take it further
Write the numbers in sand, shaving cream or playdough, then back on paper.
