Math mazes where the answer chooses the way

At every fork there is a sum and two answers. Follow the right one down and the path splits again, until one of eight or sixteen doors hides Mintee's star. A wrong answer takes you to the wrong door — so the sheet checks itself.

How it works

The answer picks the turning.

A solve-the-problem maze generator, printable as a PDF. Pick adding, taking away, times tables or a mix, and how big the numbers go, and generate. Each fork is a problem with its right answer and a near miss — one or two off, or ten off where a carry or a borrow was forgotten. Following the right answers leads to exactly one door.
