What Does It Mean to Make a Number?
Numbers are like building blocks!
Just like you can build the same tower with different blocks, you can make the same number in many
different ways by adding or subtracting other numbers. Today we'll explore all the exciting
combinations!
How to Find Different Ways
1️⃣ Start with your target number (like 5 or 10)
2️⃣ Think of two numbers that add up to it (3 + 2 = 5)
3️⃣ Try subtraction too! (7 - 2 = 5)
