Handshakes

Problem Solving
LI: To use my number knowledge to help me choose the best strategy to solve this problem



Work with a friend to solve this problem from the transum website. Once you have done this you will need to make a screen recording to show your thinking.





Which means that the answer is 351
Explain:
There are 27  students in room 9, and if 2 students shook hands with each other that would relate to 1 handshake. So if 3 students shook hands that would calculate up to 3 handshakes and you keep going, the answer would be 351.

Answer: 351

This is a maths problem solving activity that Asmah, Kyra and I have done. It was to calculate how many handshakes will there be with 27 students in Room 9. Asmah, Kyra and I have worked collaboratively.
