HOW MANY VALENTINES?
http://www.learner.org/teacherslab/math/patterns/valentines/handshakes1_act.phtml
Happy Valentine's Day! This problem with a Valentine's Day
theme is one of several presented as part of the "Patterns
in Mathematics" section of the Teacher's Lab, from The
Annenberg/CPB Math and Science Project.
It is intended for use at a wide range of grade levels. Very
young students can handle this problem for small numbers by
acting it out and using manipulatives. By fourth grade,
students can begin to make some abstractions. By eighth
grade, they can apply a formula after sufficient work with
manipulatives, tables, and diagrams. And the problem, with
arbitrarily large numbers, remains appropriate into adulthood.
