DESCRIPTION:Did you know that people knew about magic squares 3000 years a
 go? In this workshop\, we will use historical examples of magic squares to
  give students a sense of the long history of maths and how it has been pa
 rt of different cultures. Questions we will consider include:\n -Why is th
 e turtle in the graphic of this workshop?\n -Can you make a magic square o
 f any size\, or are  \n  there some which aren't possible?\n -What is an a
 nti-magic square\, and how do they help \n  us investigate magic squares?\
 n -How can you predict what the row/column/diagonal \n  total will be for 
 a magic square?\n -How do you construct your own magic squares?\n
