Angellina, Alex, Danni, and Jayce were working on a Lego project for the school creativity project that was due by the next day. They each brought a box of Legos to school to get their project started. As they were building the components of the Lego set, they realized they were missing crucial pieces to complete the Lego set. This was going to take weeks to order the missing pieces! Alex then remembered he had those missing pieces in another Lego set at home. He told the team, and they were relieved they had all the pieces after all for the Lego set. The next day, they finished their Lego set project and submitted it to their teachers.

• They each brought a Lego set to school to get started on the creativity project.
