    Hi all dd8 s fascinated by particle physics and basically anything to do with quarks etc. I can find a wee bit of general info on the web that’s aimed at kids which is fine but I’m struggling with where to steer her with math.

    She is extremely visual spacial and has struggled with school math so far. I know she can grasp the higher concepts even though basic calculations elude her. Any tips on math programs that form a good foundation for physics? I really want to bolster her self esteem in this area.
