About this template

Fill each row and column with one through the grid size exactly once, while meeting every outlined cage target. A solved two-cell sum shows the notation. Starter uses three-by-three addition/subtraction; Growing uses four-by-four and adds multiplication or exact division. Subtraction and division use the larger of two values first. Cage numbers may repeat when they share no row or column. Both original puzzles have one solution, shown on a separate key.

Suggested ages 7–12 · arithmetic and row-column deduction
