How do you use a magic square? Each square requires you to write a different number. The numbers 1 through 9 must be used for a 3 by 3 grid. As the numbers are printed all around the problem, the sum of the numbers in the rows, columns, and diagonal has to match. Recall that each number in the puzzle may only be used once.
