"The name “Open Middle” might sound like a strange name for a website about math problems. However, it references a very specific type of problem. Most of the problems on this site have:

  • a “closed beginning” meaning that they all start with the same initial problem.

  • a “closed end” meaning that they all end with the same answer.

  • an “open middle” meaning that there are multiple ways to approach and ultimately solve the problem."

How many different ways can you think of to solve?
