Curated and Reviewed by Lesson Planet

What are magic squares? First, review the activity with your class (there is a description available for you in the resource). Then, match terms from Ella Enchanted to their definitions. When your puzzle, or square, is finished, the total for each row and column should be the same! What a fun and challenging way to review vocabulary!
