This is week 4 of our challenge and we are looking for your help! The Grade 6 students of Room 5 at George Fitton School couldn't solve the problem from week 3 without help. Can you help them solve it by sharing your answer and strategy?!
The problem for week 4 is...
In a Magic Square, all the columns, rows, and diagonals add up to the same sum. Can you find the value of C in the square below?
60 | 70 | B |
A | 50 | D |
C | E | 40 |
We got this anwser by first adding the diagonal row with all the numbers. When we got the anwser we made sure that every column, row and diagonal row equaled 150. That's when we got our anwsers b=20 d=90 e=30 a=10 c=80.
