Struggling with word problems is often a clue that the concept is not understood. If you haven’t been using the manipulatives in the instruction of that concept, go back and try again with the manipulatives.
Make sure the student can teach back the concept to you to demonstrate understanding before tackling the word problem.
Be sure to use the Instruction Manual. Find the word problem tips in the index of each Instruction Manual. Also, Delta, Epsilon, and Zeta have additional word problems in the Instruction Manual after four of the lessons.
