Have you noticed how often magic squares pop up in mathematics? They can be different sizes (a three by three square or even a five by five square), use different numbers (single or more digits) and have different totals (15, 34 or something completely different). There are many variations on how magic squares work.
Here is one type of magic square that you can make to baffle and bewilder friends. Is there a trick to making them? Not a trick but certainly a method.
This example uses a four by four square, but you can draw whatever size square you choose.
