A 4×4 grid of coloured circular counters is displayed. The counters are arranged in four columns, each containing four identical values: red counters labeled “1000,” blue counters labeled “100,” green counters labeled “10,” and yellow counters labeled “1.” Above the grid, the text reads, “Add up any four of these counters.” Below the grid, the text asks, “How many different totals can you make?”
Pleasantly, this lovely problem has the same answer as this other lovely problem from @studymaths.bsky.social.
