About this puzzle
Free printable magic square puzzles with an answer key. Every row, column and diagonal must add up to the magic sum. Fill in the missing numbers. Medium puzzles need a little planning, but no guessing. Find a row or column with only one empty cell and finish it first.

Tips for using it
- Have your child say each fact out loud while writing the answer.
- Use small objects like buttons or cereal to check tricky problems.
- The middle cell is always one third of the magic sum.
- Start with the easiest clue or the fullest row, column or box.
