  1. A-maze-ing Math • General questions and activities: • Why does USPS/UPS/FedEx care about this problem? • Make your own maze and challenge your friends (use graph paper). • Questions for grades 3-5: • What numbers/letters can you draw using only right turns? Can you spell your name? • Estimation: How many steps will you take? How many times will you turn? • Measurement: How long is your solution? • What shapes/angles do you see in the maze? What do they have in common? • What happens if you switch the start and finish? • Questions for grades 6-8: • Can you make a maze that has no solution when you can’t turn left? • Make the maze on the top left above solvable by adding some paths? • Inequalities: Is there a solution with less than 4,5,6,7, etc. turns? • Can you get home taking no left turns? • Questions for grades 9-12: • Probability: Flip a coin at each intersection. Heads means turn right, tails means go straight. Will you get out of the maze? • Can you make a route that goes over every path? • What is the shortest possible route? • What if you go in reverse taking only left turns? • Why does your number of right turns have remainder 3 when divided by 4?
