What Does "Ways to Make a Number" Mean?
Numbers are like puzzles - there are many ways to put them together!
You can make the same number using different combinations of adding and subtracting. For example, the number 10 can be made with 5+5, 6+4, 12-2, and many more ways!
How to Find Different Ways
1️⃣ Start with the number you want to make (like 15)
2️⃣ Think of two numbers that add up to it (10 + 5, 9 + 6, etc.)
3️⃣ Try subtraction too! (20 - 5, 16 - 1, etc.)
