Addition Mazes, another type of maze for children 

Number mazes are mathematical puzzles which enhance children's basic understanding
of mathematics as they solve and explore mazes. The Number mazes consist of interesting puzzles that must be solved by using knowledge of addition, subtraction and signed numbers.
In the book Space Mazes, the challenging mazes gradually become more difficult and are juxtaposed with new exicting 3d mazes .(See this post for examples of the 3d mazes which can be viewed as examples of counting in 3 dimentions.) They are all number puzzles or math puzzles.
The Number Mazes can be Addition mazes, Subtraction mazes and
signed number mazes or negative number mazes.

In fact, children find the new creative puzzles so engrossing that they do not willingly
put the book down. The book Spacemazes is an excellent gift if you are going on a long car ride or plane trip. Your child will be engrossed in Spacemazes. It is a wonderful birthday gift, holiday gift or
Chistmas gift.
See a review here or here.

Directions for the Addition Mazes below are
1. Start at the number on the left,
2. find the path through the maze the takes the number on the left to the number
on the right by adding to the number on the left any number that you pass in the maze.
3. End at the number on the right.

These are easy Addition Mazes. The maze puzzles (maze games) become progressively more challeging in the maze book for children, Spacemazes, available at Amazon.
