Primary 5 had great fun using our latest resource in Mathematics, Izak9. Our challenge was to use the digits 1-9 to make a Magic Square. In a Magic Square all the rows, columns and diagonals have the same total. We had to work co-operatively to work out the answer in our teams. We were all very proud of our hard work and delighted to be able to produce a solution.

We also tried making Addition Steps. The total of each column had to be the sam even with the different number of steps. We managed to produce several different solutions in our teams.

Why not try some Magic Cubes, or Addition Stepping yourself. You can do them on paper, or use some of the interactive sites available.
