Ok, 6x3 and 3x6 are the same. No point in trying to 'correct' the teacher's interpretation. There's noting to argue about. Tell your child that the book, teacher, program, or whatever made an error and move on. She was right. On the other problem, though, your daughter was clearly in error and you can certainly explain why. If she has trouble interpreting the quetions, this is a skill that she needs to acquire. She will see a lot of simarly formatted questions before she is done. Even if you homeschool, your child will eventually take a standardized test of some kind. You seen to be awfully invested in nitpicking the curriculum. Why? Your time would be better spent helping your child acquire the skill set needed to progress. Even if those skills are not strictly speaking 'math'.
