Alternative Method Constructing Magic Square 3x3 ( Third Order )

1. An alternative method to construct “Magic Square 3x3” Conditions: We are going to complete this magic square with integers 1 to 9. The Sum of the Numbers is 15 (SN=15) We are not tend to find out Desired Number (DN).

2. Step 1 Construct blank magic square 3x3. (Third Order)

3. 2 4 6 8 Step 2 Fill every corner (yellow) with even number; 2,4, 6,8 in “z- mode sequence” as shown in diagram.

4. 2 4 6 8 Step 3 Fill the blank blue boxes with this calculation. 2 + ___ + 4 = 15 6 + ___ + 8 = 15 2 + ___ + 6 = 15 4 + ___ + 8 = 15 Remember: The Sum of the numbers is 15

5. Step 4 2 + ___ + 4 = 15 6 + ___ + 8 = 15 2 + ___ + 6 = 15 4 + ___ + 8 = 15 9 1 7 3 2 9 4 7 3 6 1 8 Complete the blank blue boxes

6. Langkah 5 “The missing number” is 5 Insert 5 in the middle of this magic square. 2 9 4 7 5 3 6 1 8

7. Sum of the numbers in this third order is 15 . Sometimes, 5 is called as “Starting Number” ( SN = 15 ) “The Outcome” 15 15 15 15 2 9 4 15 7 5 3 15 6 1 8 15 15
