- **What does implementation look like in the classroom? **** **

You can use a math riddle as a warm up before a lesson or to close out a lesson (chunk it up throughout the week).  You could use this as a whole lesson for a holiday or to support a special theme. You could even use this for a brain break, or a fun Friday math lesson.
