The Mathematical Conundrum
The concept of this PDF is to show educators how we can take complex
maths equations and while sometimes difficult to teach can be presented in
fun ways by using our own user generated content and by mixing new forms
of media with traditional text based formats.
This concept is known as the Magic Square or the Mathematical Square.
There are many different variants of this. However we are going to learn the
Ciarán Mc Cormack 4x4 square formula. This method requires memorisation and the ability to do
FIS Creative Manager
www.fis.ie
19 simple mathematical calculations in your mind. Itʼs very learnable but does
www.eurocreator.com require allot of practice.
Step One ! - Memorise the numbers that make up the square below. It add
up to 34.

This is your memorised square.

Step Two - Ask for a number between 34 and 90. In this example 57 is the selected number
Step Three - in your mind. Subtract 34 from the selected number (57 - 34 = 23).
Step Four - in your mind. Divide this number (23) by 4. In this example you will get 5 with a
remainder of 3. 5 will become your alpha number in this example.
Add the reminder 3 to your alpha number (5) to calculate your beta Number.
8 will be your Beta number in the example.
Step Five - To create a square for the selected number 57, you must
Add the Alpha number (5) to each number from 1 to 12 in your memorised square. Below is an
example of the square for 57 after 5 is added to 1 to 12.
