This. Especially the drawing - often word problems are baffling for more visual learners. If you can make them concrete, they become more manageable.

My second grade DS has done Mathnasium since the Fall and it has helped him considerably. It is a significant time and financial commitment, but in our case it was worth it.

My second grader is struggling with math - especially word problems. We practice worksheets at home but he's still not doing well. What can I do to help him? Mathnasium? KUMON?
