        @bigfootballet If repeated addition and the array method of multiplication were at all applicable to matrix math, you might be correct.

        @CraftBeerMonger Bullshit. Common Core in no way prescribes the alternate answers the teacher wrote down. @BoingBoing

        @BoingBoing @Jenthulhu I think the error is because of the format of the answers. They're looking for ability to follow process, not values.

        @pianobar77 @BoingBoing Children need to learn flexibility in problem solving. That’s more important than the process you speak of.

        @Jenthulhu @BoingBoing Flexibility is very important, & should be taught & valued, understanding process & following directions is valid too

        @pianobar77 @BoingBoing Yes but telling a kid they are wrong when the answer is correct tells them that they shouldn’t bother doing the work

        @Jenthulhu @BoingBoing If it's one on one teaching, I agree. We use homeschooling for our son, and we'd never mark it that way...

        @BoingBoing my guess... this is supposed to be teaching students that not all operation is commutative and to pay fine attention to order

        @BoingBoing @Jenthulhu children need to learn ___ x 3 = 15 just as much as 5 x ___ = 15. That IS the Commutative Property ....
