In this Math Puzzlers Set #4, you’ll find 15 addition brain teasers (and teacher answer keys) that require students to find which numbers are missing from the squares. ***This 4th set of Math Puzzles take students’ thinking one step and is the most difficult in my Math Puzzles Set.*** There is only 1 way to solve each square, as each row/column/diagonal adds to the same sum.

Accomplishing difficult tasks allows students to develop a mindset of growth and resilience. Students know it’s okay to make mistakes, try the wrong number, or unknowingly defend the wrong number.

Our motto has quickly become, “Our brains love to do hard things.”
