Algebra News Letter

We had to do a newsletter in math; the subject I picked was Magic Squares. The magic square is a box with numbers. All the numbers add up in different ways to be the same number. The Magic square was first found in China. They said it was on the back of the turtle, and that it was the number of things they had to sacrifice. It added up to be 15. Then Albrecht Durer invented one. His only added in the middle and around it. Finally Ben Franklin invented one. His added up and down, and sideways and come out to be the same number. People think that the sudoku was inspired by the magic square.
