Addition Integer Logic
Students are given integers to fill in the outside top and left borders so the numbers add to give the
number in the corresponding inner square. Each given number must be used once on the top and once
again on the left border. Once border numbers are placed, students need to complete the other inner
squares with the correct sum.
It may be helpful to demonstrate the first one to students. However, it is important for students to hear
the logical thinking that is being done to solve these puzzles. It may also help students to list the
numbers twice (once for the top border and once for the left border) and cross off the numbers as they
are used on each line.
These can be enlarged and laminated on cardstock so that students can use overhead markers to
complete. Enlarged copies are included (after the answer key) for this purpose.
