Multiplication Maze Worksheet – Free Printable PDF
This free multiplication maze worksheet makes checking answers the whole point of the activity. Thirty-five number sentences fill the grid — some correct, some deliberately wrong, such as 3 × 4 = 14 sitting right beside 3 × 4 = 12. The child colours only the true ones, and a path emerges from START at the bottom to FINISH at the top. Print it instantly — no login, no payment, no sign-up required.

About This Free Multiplication Maze Worksheet for Kids
One page, one method — that is the whole of this free multiplication maze worksheet. A name and date line runs across the top, a coloured title band names the activity, and one line of instructions sits beneath it. At Kidzolearn, every worksheet is 100% free to download and print — no login, no subscription, no payment required.
Thirty-five number sentences arranged in a grid five across and seven down, with START marked at the bottom and FINISH at the top. Your child colours only the sentences that are correct, and the coloured squares form a path between the two. The problems are facts from the 2, 3, 4 and 5 times tables, some printed correctly and some deliberately wrong. No product goes above forty-five.
I checked all thirty-five. Exactly ten are correct, and those ten form a single unbroken path from START to FINISH with no correct answers stranded off the route. That is what makes the sheet self-checking — a wrong choice does not just lose a mark, it breaks the path and the child can see it. The wrong answers are near misses rather than nonsense — 3 × 4 = 14 and 2 × 6 = 10 both look plausible at a glance. A child who is guessing from the shape of the number rather than knowing the fact will be caught by these, which is the point. For more early maths in the same style, see our free printable coloring pages, and the full library sits on our free printable worksheets for kids.
What your child will learn from this worksheet
By the time the page is finished, your child will have practised:
- Judge thirty-five multiplication sentences as true or false
- Check facts from the 2, 3, 4 and 5 times tables under time pressure
- Self-correct instantly, because a wrong choice breaks the path
- Resist plausible-looking wrong answers such as 3 × 4 = 14
- Practise careful colouring and grid-following alongside the maths
These support maths objectives in Grade 1 to Grade 3, UK Year 2 and Year 3, and Indian Class 1 to Class 3. Multiplication rests on confident addition, so if any of these feel slow, our number worksheets for kindergarten are the place to rebuild that foundation before pushing on.

Frequently Asked Questions
Are Kidzolearn worksheets really free?
Yes! Every worksheet on Kidzolearn is 100% free — no subscription, no login and no payment required at any time. Simply click the download button, save the PDF and print it instantly at home or in the classroom.
At what age should children start using this multiplication maze worksheet?
Around six to seven is typical, but go by what your child already understands rather than their age. If they can explain that 3 × 4 means three groups of four, they are ready for this multiplication maze worksheet. If they cannot, go back to equal groups with real objects first — the tables will stick far better afterwards.
What if my child colours a wrong square?
That is the most useful moment on the page. The path will not connect, so they have to go back and re-check their work — which is self-assessment happening without you saying a word. Rather than pointing at the mistake, ask which square they are least sure about. A multiplication maze worksheet works best when the child finds the error themselves.
Do puzzle worksheets count as real multiplication practice?
Yes — times tables appear in the primary curriculum in India, the UK, the US and Australia, and the UK tests them formally in Year 4. What the frameworks share is the order: count, add, understand equal groups, then learn the tables. Skipping a step makes the tables much harder to hold on to, so our free printable coloring pages cover the number work that sits underneath all of this.
Can I use these worksheet at home?
Absolutely! This worksheet is completely free to download and print at home. All you need is a printer and a pencil — no cost, no sign-up and no login required. You can print it as many times as your child needs.
