Overheard by a Canadian: Episode 4

In a Year 1 class, while discussing "double number sentences" (eg. 2+2=4, for those of you non-teachers!)

Me: "Could you make a double number sentence with the answer being 5?"

Student: "Yes."

Me: [giving the 'try again' face]. "Really?"

Student: "two-and-a-half plus two-and-a-half equals five."


These kids are just too smart!
