The magic square a tool for concentration (part I)
THE MAGIC SQUARE
The magical square magic, its origin is very old, tells an ancient Chinese legend around the year 2,200 BC, the emperor Yu saw on the banks of the Yellow River a magic square engraved on the shell of a turtle called Lo-Shu attributing magical properties and religious.
The charm and fascination of these magic squares is that once you start to solve them and learn the techniques you are passionate and want more, in my case I started applying it together with my 8 year old daughter, I had the need to find something before starting the routine of the tasks or activities sent by the school, so after applying different games we worked the magic square, we solve it before starting the tasks, and I have noticed that it helps us to concentrate.
So I commented to my daughter's teacher at the time and each child developed his own board to develop the magic square, the activity became dynamic and competitive inside the room and teachers and representatives joined this game, our satisfaction was that the application of this juice multiplied not only in the school but also in different homes.
Magical square of 3 X 3
It consists of making a grid of 3 rows by 3 columns, the number of tables is counted or multiplied 3 X 3 = 9, is the numbering to be used from number 1 to 9 consecutively (1,2,3,4,5,6 , 7,8,9), and add 45 as a result, then to the result (45) we divide it into the number of rows or columns (3), then it would be 45/3, and its result 15, this corresponds to our magical result.
This magic square in particular has 8 solutions, in this article we will show you that following some rules, your solution becomes something technical and fun for the participants.
Rules:
The number 1 will always go in the first row in the middle column.
Continue with the numerical order, starting from the position of the number one position rises and one position moves to the right.
If the position falls outside the grid, the number moves to the end of the column or row depends on where it is located.
If the box where the position corresponds is occupied, a position directly below the guide number passes directly.
If it falls in a position outside the square where it has neither a row nor a column as a guide, the number passes directly one position below the guide number.
