The principal needs help planning the school lunch schedule!  Students will plan a lunch schedule to accommodate all of the students in the school.  However, there can only be 100 students in the cafeteria at a time and only 20 students can sit at a table.  Students will figure out how to arrange the lunch schedule so that every class eats together and so that certain grade levels are not together at the same time.
