Problem Solving Strategies

Today we practiced using the problem solving process:

1. Understanding the problem
   
2. Plan the solution
   
3. Carry out the plan
   
4. Review and discuss your solution
   

We solved the Handshake problem. Where we had to find out how many handshakes there would be if there were 10 people in the room and each person shook hands with each other person exactly once. Then we generalized it for any number of people in the room. We made plans and illustrated our solution on poster paper.
