==I thought this would be an interesting problem for students to try and solve. It would get them thinking about various ways to solve the same problem and they could work as teams or individually to try and solve the problem in as little moves as possible.==

The kids could work together on the computer- and it would also probably be beneficial to have a concrete model of the problem for the more hand on learners in the class. It wasn't a really great activity, but I enjoyed trying to solve the problem and I think students would too. There are not a lot of mathematical strategies other than problem solving employed, which also means that it wouldn't have to just be used exclusively in a maths context. I thought it could be used well for an introduction to a maths lesson or as an extension activity for those students who finish faster than others.
