The student's solution was"five times eight equals 40", but the teacher marked it as incorrect, writing"eight times five" at the top of the page and"40 kilograms" as the answer
The question, which appeared on a Primary 3 maths exam at a local primary school, reads: “Mrs. Jin gave each family five kilograms of rice, and she gave it to eight families. How much rice did she give in total?” The student’s aunt shared the problem on Reddit, noting that while she agreed that the “kilograms” quantifier was missing, she was unsure why the teacher had changed the order of the numbers in the equation.
