Magic Squares for Kids

I'm in love with magic squares. I wish I had done more of these as a child. I worked with my 6 year old daughter on an example problem from Claudia Zaslavsky's book 'Math Games & Activities from Around the World.' This problem involves two imaginary young boys in West Africa. One boy, Ahmed, is challenged by another boy to play. His game board is a square divided up into nine boxes. He has 45 pieces to play. He can place 1-9 pieces in each box but can not play a number more than once. Each row and column must add up to 15.

Have your child finish it.
