Class 3 to 9 · ages 8–14
Magic Square is a magic square puzzle for kids: fill the gaps so that every row, column and diagonal adds up to the magic total. Solving 3×3 and 4×4 magic squares builds quick adding and subtracting and teaches a smart order — always solve the line with just one gap first.
Tips to get better at Magic Square
Find a row, column or diagonal with only one gap: the gap = total minus the other numbers.
Each number you fill in creates a new line with one gap — keep going in that order.
Watch the totals turn green; a red total shows which line to check.
A grid of numbers where every row, every column and both diagonals have the same total — the magic total. In a 3×3 magic square the middle number is always one third of the total.
Does every puzzle have only one answer?
Yes. The empty squares are chosen so that the totals fix every missing number — checked by computer for thousands of puzzles.
How do I start?
Look for a line with just one empty square. Add the numbers you can see and take that away from the magic total. Then a new line will have one gap left.
