Why it works as a break

  • Spatial planning: where to place a piece so two more can join later
  • Value doubling: each merge jumps a step in the chain, easy to narrate
  • Low floor, quick win — everyone merges something in the first minute

Using it in class

Put it on the board for two minutes between blocks, or let students open it on their own device. Nothing saves to an account, so there is nothing to clean up afterwards.
