trending: Primary 3 mathematics question with right answer marked wrong stumps Singapore netizens
“Lhxlhx” who had seen this on her nephew’s workbook questioned why five times eight was marked wrong, while eight times five - which works out to be 40 as well - was the correct answer, according to the teacher.

However, it is “not self-evident when a kid first starts learning multiplication”, one Reddit user said.
