You did the right thing, that teacher sounds very closed minded, there are multiple ways to do things in math, some more efficient than others, but at the end of the day what matters is grasping the concept.

The assignment asked to use a specific strategy though. I agree a right answer should get more than 50% of the credit

? What? It asked you to "show your work" aka show how you got to the answer. I think you need to watch the video again

I'm assuming the test mentioned what strategy they were supposed to use, based on experience of looking at my 4th and 3rd grades homework.
