Practice How to Find the Whole From a Percent 

These math mazes, designed for students in 6th grade, challenge students to use their understanding of percentages to find the whole. Each maze features a series of interconnected boxes, with a question in each large rectangle. Students must calculate the answer and then navigate the maze to find the correct path to the end. These mazes are a fun and engaging way to reinforce students’ understanding of percentages and help them develop their problem-solving skills.

An answer key is included with your download to make grading fast and easy!  

Tips for Differentiation + Scaffolding 

In addition to independent student work time, use this worksheet as an activity for:

  • Guided math groups 
  • Lesson warm-up
  • Lesson wrap-up
  • Fast finishers 
  • Homework assignment
  • Whole-class review (via smartboard)

For students who need a bit of a challenge, encourage students to change values so that a dead-end path leads to the correct answer.

For students who need additional support, allow access to a multiplication chart. Have a laminated proportion solver that students can fill in the blanks to guide them along the solving process.
