About equivalent fraction mazes

A target fraction is printed above the maze. Students step only on fractions that are equal to it, so they check each square by multiplying or dividing the top and bottom by the same number.

The squares off the route hold near misses such as a numerator or denominator that is one or two off. Every maze has exactly one route, and the answer key shades it.
