Have your students practice their basic decimal multiplication skills.
Problems included are:
0.3 x 0.4 = 0.12
3 x 0.4 = 1.2
4 x 0.5 = 2.0
0.4 x 0.5 = 0.2
0.9 x 1 = 0.9
0.9 x 0.1 = 0.09
0.2 x 0.8 = 0.16
2 x 0.8 = 1.6
7 x 0.6 = 0.42
0.7 x 0.6 = 0.42
0.4 x 0.9 = 0.36
4 x 0.9 = 3.6
0.7 x 0.5 = 0.35
5 x 0.7 = 3.5
0.4 x 0.4 = 0.16
0.4 x 0.04 = 0.016
6 x 0.03 = 0.18
0.06 x 0.3 = 0.018
0.7 x 0.2 = 0.14
7 x 0.002 = 0.014
0.3 x 0.7 = 0.21
7 x 0.003 = 0.021
0.6 x 0.8 = 0.48
0.006 x 8 = 0.048
**Each magic square will have students answer 24 math problems!**
Preparation and Storage: You will need to print off the number of copies you need. (I recommend printing them on cardstock and laminating them.) I have used these as individual work, partner work, and small group work. They also work well for students who finish early or for use during center time. Cut the magic squares out and put them into plastic baggies for students' use. I put each set in its own plastic baggie. Then I put all of these baggies and one original sheet in a manila envelope with the name of the activity on the front. This way I have the answer key and all materials readily available.
Directions to Play: Give students the cut-up magic square sheet. Tell them they need to put the square back together. The first time you have the students complete one of these, I suggest drawing out a 4x4 square on the board so they understand what it should look like. You can also give them the hint (because I have found some do not figure this out!) that the letters will all be facing the correct direction.
Correcting Student Work: To easily check a student's completed work, keep an original copy of the magic square sheet they are working on. This way you can immediately check to see if the letters are in the correct order or not.
Thank you for looking!

Great Thanks!

The letters on the squares don't seem to serve a purpose, but they did confuse my students, who kept thinking that they needed to spell something or else they were doing it wrong. Larger print would be nice, too. However, it was a good teamwork activity for my students to complete this.

Thank you for the feedback. As the directions in the Product Overview state, the letters serve two purposes. One is so the students know which way the squares should face, while the other is helping the teacher correct the squares by making sure the letters are in the correct order. The first time I do Magic Squares with a group, I have to remind them several times that the letters do not spell anything. However, I have found that the second time my students complete a Magic Square they do much better! :)

I need help, I don't get it? I know I should, but...
When I cut up the squares, how many do I give to the students? And how do they do 24 problems for each square? Sorry, I'm confused, I've never seen one of these before.

No worries! One sheet equals a full 24 problems. So you give the student one entire sheet after you've cut it up. (So you'll need to cut up one sheet for each student that is completing the activity.) If you have further questions, don't hesitate to e-mail me at hojostptstore@yahoo.com

TEACHING EXPERIENCE
Subject Area:
I have PreK-6th grade experience. I started my teaching adventure by accident. My major was business and electronic commerce, but I started working part-time at a preschool during college. That job made me realize what I was truly meant to do! This fall I will begin teaching 6th grade. However, in the past I have taught Kindergarten, Reading Recovery, Title I math and reading, 5th grade inclusion special education, and a multi-grade classroom of ELL students. I was also the overseer of my first school's special education department. I also teach Asian students during the evenings, weekends, and summer. Using Skype and other online tools, I have taught students from age 6-20. It has been an interesting experience! http://www.eleutian.com/qualify/registers/welcome
