Actually the teacher was wrong because the problem clearly stated 5x3 which verbally equates to 5 three times. If it had stated 3x5 then that verbally equates to 3 five times. The teacher is an idiot and I would be transferring my kid out of her class

One of the most basic properties of whole-number — and integer, rational, real, and complex number, along with many more — multiplication is commutativity: for any two numbers A and B, A x B = B x A. Order does not matter in multiplication; adding 5 together 3 times is exactly the same as adding 3 together 5 times.

An "array"???
Really???
Millions learned their "times tables" and still remember them 50 years later.
We didn't need any 6-10 step "array" or "matrix" to solve what USED to be very simple math problems.
We are screwed, but the next generation is ROYALLY screwed.
And you wonder why the clerk is absolutely flabbergasted when you give them a nickel extra to reduce the change you're given....
Keep cheering.
