Maths

 L.I to use the most efficient strategy

This week for online learning I worked with a group of four people to solve this question. We worked out that each person would shake hands with 53 other people since there are 54 people and you can’t shake hands with yourself. So we multiplied 53x54 to the answer which is 2862.


Question: There are 54 students in LS2. If everyone shook hands with each other how many handshakes would there be altogether? 

Strategy: 2862, we found 1 person was to hand shake 53 people, since said person cant shake hands with themselves. So we multiplied 54 by  53 because that's how many people each person would shake hands with. Simply put our strategy was 1:53 x 54.

    Well Done with your DLO showing your maths strategy on handshakes. You explained your strategy really well and obviously collaborated with your group to come up with the answer. I'm glad this task was interesting and you had fun working with your friends. Good Work
