Medium Mix Pack

What is in Medium Mix Pack?

Eight medium pages with a wider spread than the name suggests. Seven answer routes sit between 36 and 130 steps across rectangular, circular, and hex grids; page five, a 36-by-18 circular maze, jumps to 341 steps and plays closer to a hard puzzle. Braiding runs from 1% to 36%, so some pages forgive wrong turns with loops and others barely do. Treat the pack as a progression and place that big circular page last.

The puzzle download contains 8 pages, with one maze on each page. The current set includes 3 rectangular, 3 circular, 2 hexagonal mazes. Difficulty labels in this edition are 8 medium. Use these labels and the previews below when assigning pages; a pack name alone does not tell you how much pencil control or backtracking each solver will need.

A sequence for this set

The Medium Mix works as a comparison exercise: solve a grid maze, then try a different shape and discuss which turns were easiest to overlook. Ask the solver to explain one wrong turn instead of simply counting finished pages.

Page 3 has the shortest measured answer route in this set: 36 steps. It is a useful page to inspect first, but a shorter solution is not a guarantee of an easier solve. Branches and path width also affect the experience. PDF pages follow the numbered cards below.

Print the puzzles and keep the answers separate

Choose A4 or Letter to match the paper loaded in the printer. Use actual size and one page per sheet for the first test copy. Check the outer walls and fine passages before running the rest. Keep the answer-key PDF at the same paper size: its pages follow the puzzle order, so answer page 3 corresponds to puzzle page 3. Give learners the unmarked puzzle file, not the answer file, and keep a master answer copy for checking work.

Pack questions

Must every learner finish the whole pack?

No. Select individual pages for a center, a quiet activity, or a home puzzle session. Keep unused pages for another day rather than making speed the goal.

Can I share copies with my class?

Personal and classroom printing is allowed. The site terms do not permit reselling the PDFs or bundling them into a paid worksheet product.
