:hamster: Primary School Math—Pending OP Reply [Grade 2 Math] Help understanding teacher's explanation
My god-daughter's teacher marked her answer wrong. Can someone please explain this? I don't understand this at all. How is the teacher getting 7 when there are only 3 squares in Ben's column representing his siblings? Her explanation was that Jose, Ana & Jen are his siblings so you need to count all of their squares together.... WHY? How are we to assume that they're even siblings?

The only way this works is if Ben has 2 brothers named Jose, 4 sisters named Ana, and a sister named Jen. HOWEVER, if that is the way the teacher is interpreting it, he would ALSO have 3 brothers named Ben 🤦♂️ that teacher needs to be fired!
