Unit Overview
Mazes instigate interest in mathematics. Finding paths and solving mazes
allow students to have fun and solve puzzles while learning mathematical skills
and concepts. This unit focuses more on problem solving and trial and error
rather than logical reasoning. This helps in honing the students' intuition in
solving mathematical problems. The mazes and puzzles introduced are initial
practice for students before they can go on to solve more complex problems.
