Interested in saving some money? This product is part of a great money saving bundle for 3rd, 4th, and 5th grade math teachers. Check it out HERE for more information!
This resource is also included in a second bundle for 1st, 2nd, 3rd, and 4th grade teachers who are specifically working on telling time. Check it out HERE for more information!
There are 60 puzzles in this product. Puzzles are broken down from minutes :00-:11, :12-:23, :24-:35, :36-:47, and :48-59 of each hour. So there are five puzzles for each of the twelve hours, or the 60 total. There are also two of each puzzle. The first one does not have times around the outside but the second puzzle does. This way you can differentiate the puzzles to best fit the needs of your students.
The preview file will allow you to sample six of the puzzles for FREE!
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 3x3 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 clocks 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 graphics are in the correct order or not.

Want to tell time to the nearest five minutes? You can look at that product HERE!
Want to tell time to the nearest hour and half hour? You can see that product HERE!
Magic Square Puzzles are great for centers, review, early and fast finishers, enrichment, GATE (gifted and talented education), and critical thinking skills. Students with special needs also do well with these once they understand the concept. Any student that needs a lesson in perseverance will benefit from Magic Square Puzzles. With this fun game format your students will stay engaged while practicing necessary skills!
Just print and quickly cut on the lines and you have instant learning centers that make skill practice fun and engaging.
