Multiple Choice

Do you know what six plus six is?

• Yes, the answer is 36.

• Yes, the answer is 12.

• Yes, the answer is 15.

• No, I don't know.

Well, if you didn't get that one right here's the explanation: When you have six dots and you got six more dots and you want to find out how many dots you have, you first say in your head, if I want to find out how many I have, I should add! Then, you count, six, seven, eight, nine, ten, eleven, twelve! There you have it you have twelve dots!​

​But we are not done yet! Now that you know what six plus six is, then you can figure out what six, plus six, plus six, plus six, plus six, plus six is! Right?
