Christmas BIDMAS Maze | Order of Operations Worksheet | KS3/KS2 Maths Activity & Answers

Add festive fun to your Maths lessons with this Christmas BIDMAS Maze, a high-engagement activity perfect for KS2–KS3 Maths, revision sessions, warm-ups, early finishers, and holiday-themed lessons. Students must correctly apply BIDMAS / PEMDAS rules to work their way through the maze from START to END, choosing the correct answer each time. One mistake and they’ll hit a dead end—making it a brilliant self-checking practice task.

Across the three differentiated maze sheets (pages 2–7), students tackle a variety of order-of-operations problems, including multiplication, division, addition, subtraction, brackets, and multi-step expressions. The festive layout keeps learners motivated while reinforcing essential calculation accuracy.

A complete set of answer keys is included to save you valuable marking time and support guided modelling.
