Mysterious magic squares

Hi everyone and welcome back to my blog. It was sad when I had to go back to school after a fun and adventurous holiday, but it was good to get back into the daily routine. It was so exciting and cool this week because we got to catch up with our friends and do some fun learning. Today I'm going to be showing you what I learnt in maths this week because it was really fun and I think you will if you try it out yourself. We learnt about magic squares which were cool because I haven't learnt about them before. Magic squares look kind of challenging but when you get into it and learn about it more you'll see their really easy. The rules are simples. You have 3 numbers and there has to be one of the 3 numbers in each line, going diagonal, vertical and horizontal. Each of the lines has to add up to the same number. Here is an example that I did...

They were really fun especially the challenging ones. As you can see the numbers I have used are really high and are all even numbers. First, we started off with numbers adding up to 15, then as we progressed through the week, we got into the higher range of numbers and the squares were a lot harder to do. I found that with even numbers, it was way easier to complete and didn't take as much time as the uneven numbers one. That is it for this blog post and I will be sharing with you some more things on what I did throughout the week. Thanks for reading my blog post! See you next time. Did you have a good holiday? Have you learnt about magic squares before?
