Description

These addition logic puzzles feature 3 x 3 Magic Squares and Magic Triangles and will have your students doing some serious math, while having fun with the math puzzles at the same time. Win-win!

These are challenging and provide for lots of logical thinking. I've used these puzzles with students in Grades 1 - 5, and they're always fun. Laminate these cards (or put them inside a plastic sleeve) and allow your students to write on them so they can erase often and try again. Or, give students numbers (either as tiles or just paper) so kids can arrange and rearrange. Also, some of the puzzles are more challenging than others.


For more challenge, try these too:

⭐Addition Puzzles SET 2 Magic Squares and Triangles 4 x 4


For the Magic Square puzzles, students fill in the addends so that every row, column, and diagonal equals the Magic Sum. However, students must think critically as each number can only be used one time.

For the Magic Triangle puzzles, they fill in the addends so that each side of the triangle equals the Magic Sum. Same rules - use each number one time only.

Very engaging. Great for math centers or as an early finisher or sub activity.

Questions & Answers

Standards

to see state-specific standards (only available in the US).
Solve word problems that call for addition of three whole numbers whose sum is less than or equal to 20, e.g., by using objects, drawings, and equations with a symbol for the unknown number to represent the problem.
Add and subtract within 20, demonstrating fluency for addition and subtraction within 10. Use strategies such as counting on; making ten (e.g., 8 + 6 = 8 + 2 + 4 = 10 + 4 = 14); decomposing a number leading to a ten (e.g., 13 - 4 = 13 - 3 - 1 = 10 - 1 = 9); using the relationship between addition and subtraction (e.g., knowing that 8 + 4 = 12, one knows 12 - 8 = 4); and creating equivalent but easier or known sums (e.g., adding 6 + 7 by creating the known equivalent 6 + 6 + 1 = 12 + 1 = 13).
Determine the unknown whole number in an addition or subtraction equation relating three whole numbers. For example, determine the unknown number that makes the equation true in each of the equations 8 + ? = 11, 5 = ▯ - 3, 6 + 6 = ▯.
