Brief description:
 
Students work in pairs. One student uses 5 small pieces of paper as rough papers to calculate a set of maths in order to gain points. The other student is requested to fold clean paper airplanes on the same 5 small pieces of paper. Therefore, the one who folds paper airplane needs to erase the pencil marks before folding.
 
In the second round, students are allowed to compromise on their payment scheme for using blank papers. Teacher observes the changes in their production behavior for later discussion.
