Magic Square Worksheets

Using puzzles is a great way to learn Math facts and develop mental calculation and thinking skills in a fun and easy way.

Most children are much more engaged and motivated solving puzzles than working out pages of traditional math facts.

Using these math puzzles below will help your child to develop their Math fact skills as well as their strategic thinking and reasoning.

There are different versions of each puzzle from 1st to 5th grade, so it is easy to find an easier or harder version of the same puzzle. Each puzzle comes complete with answers.

Our Magic Square sheets have been develop around the theme of magic squares.

Our sheets have been split up by grade, so that you can easily select the right level of difficulty for your child.

Within each section, the sheets get progressively harder.

Adding halves, decimals and negative numbers are covered from 3rd grade and 4th grade.

Number Search Puzzles are a great way to get children looking for numbers and developing number recognition skills.

They are also a good resource for developing short term number memory skills, and can be a good way to take the fear out of large numbers.

We have a range of different number search puzzles - from easier puzzles to trickier ones to work out.

With the easier puzzles, the numbers only go horizontally (left to right) or vertically downwards.

The numbers get progressively larger on the trickier puzzles, and the grids get larger.

Here is our rounding challenges collection which will give your child an opportunity to apply their rounding learning.

The challenges can be tackled individually or with a partner.

Using these sheets will help your child to:

• apply their knowledge of rounding to the nearest 10, 100 or 1000;
• develop their problem solving skills;
• develop their understanding about place value and properties of numbers.

All the rounding challenges support elementary math benchmarks.

Riddles are a great way to get children to apply their knowledge of fractions.
