Magic square puzzles

This resource focusses on developing ability to add numbers by using grids. Designed to support outdoor learning, this activity allows the children to work within the classroom, and to take their learning outside to the playground or field - creating their own larger squares. Although this activity is designed to be carried out in a playground (which has advantages of scale and also allows chalk to be removed), it could equally be done on paper in a classroom.
