"What addition fact helps solve this story problem? Scott has 12 strawberries. He gives 6 to his sister. How many strawberries does Scott have now?"
a) 3 + 3 = 6
b) 4 + 4 = 8
c) 6 + 6 = 12
d) 12 + 12 = 24

C is a satisfactory answer, but not *the* best answer in my opinion. The reason is that 6 is not a prime number, but 3 is. 6 is made of 2 and 3 while 3 is made up of 1 and 3. In essence A is a stronger argument because 3 cannot be broken up (prime number).
You can derive 6 + 6 = 12 by using A, 3 + 3 = 6. http://www.shacknews.com/laryn.x?id=24298383#itemanchor_24298383
