Where and when I went to school, commutativity and associativity were taught in elementary school, and again in high school because we had all forgotten it. Matrix math was something I learned in university.
However that was a long time ago and standards have changed. http://www.corestandards.org/Math/Content/HSN/VM/C/9/ http://www.corestandards.org/Math/Content/HSN/VM/C/9/ indicates that matrix math is now considered high school material across the USA.
