Good technique to get people to take notice of your question :)
anyway as previously stated
two plus two is four
two and two are four
the reason:
the first implies a question and the 'is' refers not to the quantity but to the 'answer'
The short form:
two plus two is four
expands to:
what is two plus two, The answer is four.

If you honestly believe that the answer is 5, then your teacher needs to be shot. In this case matters of syntax are moot.
