Assignment: Magic Squares
You are to complete four 3x3 Magic Squares.
You may not research how to do these, you are to use your brain and your brain only.
Look for patterns that don't work as well as those that don't. Use the rhythm we have been practicing: what do you know, what do you not know, and what do you need to know to figure the next thing out?
Make each puzzle as unique as possible.
*For the Super Square, your rows, columns, and corner diagonals use the numbers 1 - 16; they will add up to 34.
You can receive one credit "point" for an accurate Super Square, but if you love them, try more! There are some cool patterns within them that are especially magical ... see if you can figure them out too. (hint: they also have to do with the number 34)
Just to be clear: you are to complete four 3x3 Magic Squares and The Super 4x4 square is optional.
All of the instructions are on the page!
Due Thursday
If you lost your worksheet, I do not have a copy available online. However, you can recreate the 3x3 boxes with pencil and ruler, eh? The rules are: use the numerals 1 - 9, each of the numerals must be used once and only once, and the numbers must total 15 when they are added together horizontally, vertically, and diagonally.
The questions to be answered at the bottom of your page are:
"There are two secrets. Always place _____ in the center square. In the corner squares always place _______________________.
