My kids can do magic... And another giveaway!

OK so maybe they aren't doing magic that is going to land them on TV or going to get them into any books. And what they are doing isn't even a magic trick. But what they ARE doing is Magic Squares.

What?! Never heard of them?! You are sure missing out! I was introduced to Heather's Magic Squares a couple months ago and recently was able to test out the Fraction Magic Squares. I knew that this would be a perfect math activity for my early finishers. I have a couple kids who are just really good at math and need something that is a little more challenging for them. This was the perfect fit!

These magic squares really make kids think. They have to be some of the best math puzzles I have ever seen. (There are language arts puzzles as well.) I really enjoyed watching my kids think through the process of putting the pieces together and figuring out why it wasn't working. 

Here are a couple pictures of magic squares in action in my classroom.

If you want to know more, I HIGHLY recommend you visit Heather's blog post here. She has typed up a great explanation. 

Here are a couple examples of the magic squares Heather has available in her TpT store.
