Arrow Multiplication

Worksheet Description

This worksheet is an educational activity themed around multiplying fractions, designed to resemble a maze. Students begin at the “BEGIN” marker and solve fraction multiplication problems to navigate through the maze, following arrows that lead to the next problem. The path they take is determined by the correct answers, and they are instructed to color in each arrow as they go, eventually guiding the “water bottle” to the table at the “END.” There’s a space for the student’s name at the top, and at the bottom, a self-assessment section with emoticons allows students to reflect on their feelings about the task.

The worksheet’s objective is to reinforce the multiplication of fractions in a fun and engaging way. By presenting the problems within a maze, students are motivated to solve the problems correctly to find the path forward. This format encourages students to be meticulous with their calculations since an incorrect answer could lead them off the correct path. It also provides an opportunity for students to practice fraction multiplication in the context of a game-like scenario, which can help alleviate the stress of learning new mathematical concepts and make the process more enjoyable.
