+1000.  The Homework Helpers in the Succeed books are often the only way for those of us who did not grow up with multi-strategy math to assist our students.

And yes, OP, multi-strategy math persists at least until algebra.  My oldest finally got to algebra this year and it has been a relief.  DC is doing much better without the overwhelming input of so many different ways to describe mathematical relationships.  I think DC never made the imaginative leap of seeing all of these strategies as multiple representations of the same phenomena.  I wonder how many kids really do, and how much that matters later on![/quote]

I doubt that my children understood all the different methods either.  What's going on with math reminds me of guided reading.  I had to pay for my kids to review a lot of elementary math via franchised tutoring.  My older son's last SAT was 680M.[/quote]
