Anticipatory Set
Imagine you have written a best-selling autobiography. It’s your story and your life, and millions of people love it. You sell the rights to a producer. Hollywood makes your movie…
• You go to the premiere…• Oh no, the story is not your book? • Who’s life is it anyway? • Some things look familiar – but others are new…
unfamiliar… even down right different.
• What do you do?

Math Problem
• Question: How many rectangles can you make with a perimeter of 30 units?

The answer is part of the process. It’s not the end product.
