1.) Given the following problem,
students will solve it and indicate any similarities to the handshake problem.
How many games will be played if 10 teams play
each other only on time?
What if they play each other 2, 3, or 4 times?
2.) Students will develop a schedule for a single elimination
tournament for 64 teams as in college basketball.

1.) Students will use estimation
before calculation to determine the reasonableness of their answer.
2.) Students will use words, graphs, pictures, and tables,
etc. to show, explain and justify their answers in multi-step problems.
3.) Students will identify problems where exact rather
than approximate answers are important.
