The settings do not move, so thirty pages are thirty different mazes of the same size and grade. That matters for early finishers too: the same child can have another at the same level without you hunting for a worksheet. ## What it is useful for teaching Beyond pencil control, a maze is a cheap way into trial and error that has a right answer. A child who learns to mark a dead end and come back is doing the same thing a programmer calls backtracking, and it is easier to talk about on paper than on a screen. It is also free of language. A maze needs no reading at all when the start and finish are marked with arrows, so it works for a child who is new to English on the same day as everyone else. four ways out of every junction ## Rectangular A grid of squares with walls between them, an arrow going in at one corner and an arrow coming out at another. **How it solves** Each junction offers at most three ways on from the one you arrived by, so the choices stay countable and a wrong turn is quick to spot. It is the shape everyone pictures, and the one to start a child on. **Good for** Everyone. The default, and the easiest to read at any size. ## The other shapes - [six ways out of every cell Hexagonal A honeycomb of six-sided cells.
