I have been teaching MATHEMATICS (11-16) since 1990. I have regularly been commended on my classroom displays and the quality of my resources as I feel this enriches the student experience.
As a self-taught graphic designer I now produce professional quality materials for our academy/academy chain across all departments including posters/banners and promotional materials. I am currently working on updating some older resources as well as developing new ones!

The title is Magic Squares of Squares but this is really another way to look at substituting values into expressions, multiplying out double brackets and collecting like terms together before solving a quadratic equation. Also deciding, in some cases, if both values or just one of the values found from solving the quadratic are valid.
Just something, I hope that is a bit different from the usual.

Solve by logic/reasoning or trial and improvement OR USE ALGEBRA
use as a worksheet or cut into strips or individual puzzles so each student gets a different question(s)
DIFFERENTIATE by giving students some of the numbers - see answers
Otherwise these are quite challenging.
A starting point could be giving out a blank grid and supplying the numbers and get student to fill in the numbers in the circles before trying to solve these puzzles.
Use the clip-art on your own worksheets or PowerPoints etc by overlaying text boxes. Use the questions/answers for the numbers.
I was only going to do 100 questions but ended up doing 1504 (94pages x 16puzzle per page) just to see if I could ,so sorry for the overkill!
