Rules & Constraints

Challenge 1

Use exactly 1 piece to build a perfect square. Quick success to build initial momentum!

Challenge 2

Use exactly 4 pieces to build a perfect square. Requires spatial rotation and trial.

Challenge 3

Use all 5 pieces to form a single square. A mind-bending shift from the 4-piece solution!

All pieces must lie flat on the table with no overlapping.

Pieces may be rotated or flipped in any orientation.

Every specified piece count must contribute to the square's perimeter/area.

Nature of Science Lesson

Adding a 5th piece forces solvers to dismantle a working model to integrate new evidence—mirroring how scientific theories adapt to fresh data.

Sawyer and his family are taking a summer road trip before school starts from Washington, DC to Duck, NC. On the way, they stopped for lunch in Richmond, VA, which was 106 miles from DC and 174 miles from Duck, NC. They traveled at an average speed of 58 mph from DC to Richmond, and after lunch it takes them 3 hours and 12 minutes to get to Duck. What is Sawyer’s family’s average speed in miles per hour for the entire trip from Washington, DC to Duck, NC (disregard the time spent at rest stops, lunch, etc.)? Express your answer as a decimal to the nearest tenth.
