 The aim of a magic triangle is to arrange digits from 0 to 9 in a triangle shape so that each side equals 10. 

For this activity:

1. Print the magic triangle worksheet and discuss the challenge with your child.
2. Cut out the numbers at the bottom.
3. Let your child experiment with arranging the numbers in the triangle. Encourage them to use their fingers or a number line to add the three digits together independently.
4. Once solved, extend their thinking by discussing:
   How many solutions are there? Does it matter which numbers are in the corners? How can we make this more challenging?
