The problem is as follows: Lan's family has 4 chicken coops, each coop has 8 chickens. How many chickens does Lan's family have in total?
The examiner wrote the correct answer 8 x 4 = 32, the answer 4 x 8 = 32 is wrong.
Many parents wonder what is the difference between 4 x 8 and 8 x 4 when both give the result of 32 and the student's choice must be marked correctly.
Grade 3 math problems attract many people's attention because of the marking method.
In your opinion, is the student's or the grader's calculation correct and explain why it is correct/incorrect. Please leave a comment below this article to see how many people have the same explanation. Note, this is a 3rd grader's problem to train students to recognize units and times multiplied.
