  • Notice the three numbers in each row add up to the number on the outside of that row.  Same goes for the three columns.
  • Take a look at the one above - it's already solved.  
  •  The numbers in red are what the student would have to fill in to solve this one.  Notice the three numbers in each row add up to the number on the outside of that row.  Same goes for the three columns.

Kids seem to really enjoy them because it's sort of like a math puzzle.  Of course, they are using their math skills as they solve the addition squares.

For example,

First row:  3 + 7 + 4 = 14
Second Row:  6 + 2 + 10 = 18
Third row:  4 + 6 + 3 = 14
