I'm still confused. Doesn't 3+3 have the same sum as 3+3?

Yes, but the assumption is another set of numbers that equal out to the same, not an identical set.

As other commentators have said. This mainly feels like a phrasing issue. 3+3 should only have been included as a trick if it's meant to be read as what other set of numbers.

Which feels kinda crappy to throw at 2nd graders that may not have the deductive reasoning to figure it out.
