Jordan and Ashley are best friends even though they seem like total opposites. When they are partners for a poster project, they aren't sure how it will turn out. As they work together, they need to keep things even or the poster might turn out odd. |
“Jordan counted nine red crayons. He put them in groups of two. There was one red crayon left over. "This red crayon doesn't have a partner," said Jordan. "Nine is an odd number."”
