Imagine you have 6 shiny marbles, and you want to share them among 3 little bowls.
To decompose a number means to break it apart into smaller groups.
What happens if we pick a different number, like 7 delicious strawberries?

Splitting Seven into Three Parts

We can split 7 strawberries into three smaller groups: 2 strawberries, 2 strawberries, and 3 strawberries.
Even though 7 is split into three parts, the total count never changes when you put them back together.
Can we break an even bigger number like 10 into three parts?

Making Ten with Three Groups

You can break 10 into 5, 3, and 2.
Grab a handful of blocks and see how many different three-part combinations you can build!
