You could look up the public school curriculum online and compare it to the school where she is. The school where your child is may not have a strong math componet or your child may just have a problem with math facts, and she'll need some extra help. Sometimes money can be confusing. If you can help her practice with real money or if you go by the teeacher material store you can probably find some cardboard money including coins so she can practice making different amounts using different coins. She can also try different methods of adding and subtracting money, like firts doing the cents as a whole number, then the dollars:
$5.87+$7.77 as 87+77=164 5+7+1=13 $13.64
Some kids do better with this. (I'm in this class now, how to teach math to elemetary kids).
Hope that helps some!!!
