Magic Squares Worksheet with Four Puzzles and Emoji Border

Let’s solve each magic square one by one. Remember: in a magic square, every row, every column, and both diagonals must add up to the “Magic Sum” given above each square.

First Magic Square (Top Left) — Magic Sum = 15

Grid:
```
8 1 ?
3 ? 7
? 9 ?
```

Step 1: Top row → 8 + 1 + ? = 15 → ? = 6
So top right is 6

Now grid:
```
8 1 6
3 ? 7
? 9 ?
```

Step 2: Middle row → 3 + ? + 7 = 15 → ? = 5
Center is 5

Now:
```
8 1 6
3 5 7
? 9 ?
```

Step 3: Bottom row → ? + 9 + ? = 15 → We need two numbers that with 9 make 15 → sum of missing two = 6

Also, left column: 8 + 3 + ? = 15 → ? = 4 → bottom left is 4

Then bottom row: 4 + 9 + ? = 15 → ? = 2 → bottom right is 2

Check last column: 6 + 7 + 2 = 15 ✔
Check diagonal: 8 + 5 + 2 = 15 ✔
Other diagonal: 6 + 5 + 4 = 15 ✔

✔ First square done!

Final for first square:
```
8 1 6
3 5 7
4 9 2
```

Second Magic Square (Top Right) — Magic Sum = 18

Grid:
```
? 2 7
4 6 ?
? ? 3
```

Step 1: Top row → ? + 2 + 7 = 18 → ? = 9 → top left is 9

Now:
```
9 2 7
4 6 ?
? ? 3
```

Step 2: Middle row → 4 + 6 + ? = 18 → ? = 8 → middle right is 8

Now:
```
9 2 7
4 6 8
? ? 3
```

Step 3: Right column → 7 + 8 + 3 = 18 ✔ Good.

Left column: 9 + 4 + ? = 18 → ? = 5 → bottom left is 5

Bottom row: 5 + ? + 3 = 18 → ? = 10 → bottom middle is 10

Check middle column: 2 + 6 + 10 = 18 ✔
Check diagonal: 9 + 6 + 3 = 18 ✔
Other diagonal: 7 + 6 + 5 = 18 ✔

✔ Second square done!

Final for second square:
```
9 2 7
4 6 8
5 10 3
```

Third Magic Square (Bottom Left) — Magic Sum = 30

Grid:
```
13 6 ?
? 10 12
? ? 7
```

Step 1: Top row → 13 + 6 + ? = 30 → ? = 11 → top right is 11

Now:
```
13 6 11
? 10 12
? ? 7
```

Step 2: Middle row → ? + 10 + 12 = 30 → ? = 8 → middle left is 8

Now:
```
13 6 11
8 10 12
? ? 7
```

Step 3: Left column → 13 + 8 + ? = 30 → ? = 9 → bottom left is 9

Bottom row → 9 + ? + 7 = 30 → ? = 14 → bottom middle is 14

Check middle column: 6 + 10 + 14 = 30 ✔
Right column: 11 + 12 + 7 = 30 ✔
Diagonal: 13 + 10 + 7 = 30 ✔
Other diagonal: 11 + 10 + 9 = 30 ✔

✔ Third square done!

Final for third square:
```
13 6 11
8 10 12
9 14 7
```

Fourth Magic Square (Bottom Right) — Magic Sum = 24

Grid:
```
11 ? 9
? 8 ?
7 12 ?
```

Step 1: Top row → 11 + ? + 9 = 24 → ? = 4 → top middle is 4

Now:
```
11 4 9
? 8 ?
7 12 ?
```

Step 2: Middle column → 4 + 8 + 12 = 24 ✔ Good.

Left column → 11 + ? + 7 = 24 → ? = 6 → middle left is 6

Middle row → 6 + 8 + ? = 24 → ? = 10 → middle right is 10

Bottom row → 7 + 12 + ? = 24 → ? = 5 → bottom right is 5

Check right column: 9 + 10 + 5 = 24 ✔
Check diagonal: 11 + 8 + 5 = 24 ✔
Other diagonal: 9 + 8 + 7 = 24 ✔

✔ Fourth square done!

Final for fourth square:
```
11 4 9
6 8 10
7 12 5
```
