Cassandra, they need to associate certain words with the
operation. for example, How many more,what is the
difference...means to subtract. You can buy a large poster
with word clues to hang in your room. Good stuff catalog I
think. There are books out there with just problem solving
practice. I have several in my math box along with a pkg of
bookmarks with the poster info on them. e-mail if you are
interested. Retired and need to clean house.
