Click here to view my write-up for the Just Count the Pegs problem. Since my class has now moved out of our probability unit and on to geometry, this problem was about geoboards, and how to find the area of any polygon on a geoboard. A geoboard is simply a rectangular board with a regular grid of pegs on it. Polygons are made by stretching something - perhaps string or a rubber band - around the pegs to form a shape with its vertices at certain pegs. I had no difficulty solving this problem, but it was fun nonetheless.
