Looking For a Different Type of Decimal Multiplication Worksheet?

Are you looking to provide your students with some practice multiplying decimals by whole numbers and multiplying decimals by decimals? If so, our multiplying decimals math mazes may be just the type of resource you’re looking for!

With this maths worksheet bundle, students will work their way through three different mazes. To find their way through each maze, students will solve each decimal multiplication problem within a rectangle and follow the path with the correct answer. Students can shade the path with coloured pencils But watch out! Some dead ends are waiting for your students in some of the mazes!

If you are looking to incorporate a little competitive fun into your classroom, consider assigning this resource to a pair of students. When someone says, “Go!” students can race each other through the maze and check their answers at the end with the provided answer key.

This resource downloads as a printable PDF or editable Google Slides file. Choose the option that best suits your needs and those of your students.

In addition to independent student work time, use this worksheet as an activity for:
