dd (nearly 9) is really struggling with problem solving maths questions.
for example - bob wants to buy a comic for £2.50, a chocolate bar for 55p and a DS game for £20. He gets £40 a month pocket money.
they are sometimes expected to make up the question themselves but even if it says "how much money does he have to put in his savings?" she still cant extract the facts and decide on the right sums.
Its not the sums themselves - she can do fairly substanial ones no trouble - eg 2345 + 6734 but its seeing past the facts to get the right answer.
does anyone know of any websites i can use to help her with this - we're not in the UK but she's bilingual and i'd be better with some english language websites if i want to help her!
or any tips?
Thanks
