NOTE on Essay: In math, we are going to be working on problem solving and thinking this year. You are creating the "before" picture of how you do it now. We will review this essay in time to see how you have changed. Do not worry about this essay. This is just a starting point. I am not grading it. We will use it to measure your growth as the year goes by.
So, take a deep breath and relax, you cannot do this wrong unless you do not do it - this is just an exercise to begin to look at problem solving.
