Arithmagon maths challenges

Here’s another fun challenge which you can set at different levels by changing the options. The idea is to complete the arithmagon using the rule given (e.g. product means finding the result of multiplication). You can choose whether to make the challenge easier by moving to 1-digit numbers, or harder by changing to give yourself a mix of corner and inside numbers. Click on the image to find the website and play the game.
