Summary
Imagine a 3×3 square in which every row, column, and diagonal have the same sum. That’s a magic square!
- I introduce the idea of a magic square and then start students off with a 3×3 square that has 5 in the middle.
- As an extra hint, I reveal that the sums must all equal 15.
- Finally, I reveal the solution and challenge your students to try a 4×4 magic square!
