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.
