A pair of siblings watched as their mother flatten one of two equal-sized balls of clay into a flat plate. The mother gave the ball to Pete and the plate to Paula. Pete cried and complained that Paula had more clay to play with because Paula's plate was larger than his ball. Paula soothed him saying that they both had the same amount of clay to play with, despite the differences in the shape of the clay. When her mother asked Paula how she knew that the ball and the plate had the same amount of clay, she pointed out that the plate could once again be rolled up into a ball, like Pete’s. What would explain the differences in their responses?
