Lajos Posa (pronounced Posha) is one of the most prominent mathematics educators in Hungary. The authors introduce readers to the Posa's technique of developing numerous methods as a means to foster student mathematical understanding. The authors illustrate the approach through exploration of multiple solution strategies for the 1000 square task.
