Περίληψη: The maze as a didactic tool plays an important role in mathematics education because it provides a unique way to develop important skills. Solving mazes requires students to actively engage and apply various heuristic methods, which stimulates their creative thinking and ability to make effective decisions. This study focuses on the use of mazes and analyses the maze-solving strategies used by students aged 7 to 12 years to overcome them. Results from a study of 159 primary school students show that the most effective strategies are eliminating dead ends, simulating passage, and recording decisions. The study highlights the importance of promoting the development of students' own strategies and systematically recording their procedures as key elements for enriching mathematics education.
