I really like this problem because it is something that you can actually physically make and try and figure out. You can take matchsticks or any type of stick in real life and construct this problem to give it a more physical experience. Math is problem solving because you are going through processes to get to your answer. In order to solve a problem, you must try and understand what is being asked, find a strategy to use, apply the strategy, and reflect on the solution.
