btb87 you are more than welcome!
RD good looking out with the websites, high five to you ....
Birtha, i think sometimes that they try to reinvent the wheel by making SIMPLE concepts too hard for the child to understand-and teachers too. There are methods we learned when we were young that just worked. Unfortunately, they never stick to those methods. Whip out a book from the 70's the text is so much easier to read but more importantly they taught process. ya know before the computer/calculator became popular. It is not about the process anymore. *sigh*
However, I must admit, I HATE reading and writing....sorry english folk :-(....
BTW, btb87 make sure to expose her to many word problems. Like RD said, allow her to explain to you in her own words how she understands the problem but more importantly give her real life situations for her to rationalize and reason (think about the Cosby show with Theo...sorry, I'm having a moment)
Good Luck!
