2. Solve the mazes.
3. What are mazes?
A maze is a puzzle. It is made of a complex system of paths. Mazes can be on paper. They can also be big enough to walk through. Labyrinths, which are similar, have one winding path instead of many paths like a maze. Sometimes balls are placed in small mazes which have to be moved to the end through the maze.
What is the most famous maze?
Hampton Court Palace Maze Hampton Court Palace Maze is perhaps the most famous maze in the world and is the UK's oldest surviving hedge maze. Planted in the late 17th century for King William III and Queen Mary II as part of a formal garden layout labelled the 'Wilderness', the maze was designed by royal gardeners George London and Henry Wise.Jul 3, 2015 |

Follow along with Mrs. Masterson to get your started.

2. Today you will get a chance to solve your classmates mazes with a marble. We will move around the room and test them out. Lift the lego flat and hold it on both sides. Tilt the maze from left to right and front to back to move the marble around the maze until you get it to the exit.
Test all the mazes at your table. Then I will have us change tables so you can test out some more.
