Teacher: If I give you two rabbits and two rabbits and
another two rabbits, how many rabbits have you got?
Student: Seven!
Teacher: No, listen carefully again. If I give you two
rabbits and two rabbits and another two rabbits, how
many rabbits have you got?
Student: Seven!
Teacher: Let's try this another way. If I give you two
apples and two apples and another two apples, how many
apples have you got?
Student: Six.
Teacher: Good. Now if I give you two rabbits and two
rabbits and another two rabbits, how many rabbits have
you got?
Student: Seven!
Teacher: How on earth do you work out that three lots
of two rabbits is seven?
