When I packed Madelyn's lunch last night for today, I packed her 12 grapes and left her a note that read: "How many grapes are in your lunch? Tell me two different ways." I asked her about it after she got home.
Me: What did your note say today?
Madelyn: You asked me how many grapes I had.
Me: Well?
Madelyn: I don't know. I didn't think I would have enough time to eat if I counted them.
Me: Okay, well, you had 12, so what's another word for that?
Madelyn: Um, 6 + 6 = 12?
Me: True, but that's an equation. What's another word for 12?
Madelyn: Um, I don't know.
Me: Okay, if you buy twelve eggs, you buy....
Madelyn: A DOZEN!
