Are you looking for a task card activity to build students' fluency with addition facts while developing number reasoning skills?
Students solve the missing addition facts on each magic square, working towards magic numbers up to 50. Every row, column and diagonal should add up to the same total, and students check their own work by confirming that every line matches. The self-checking format encourages students to think flexibly about number combinations rather than solving facts in isolation.
What's included:
24 coloured magic task cards, each with missing addition facts to solve so every row, column and diagonal reaches the magic number shown
Answer keys for all 24 cards
