FTR, her school uses Every Day Math. Dreadful!

Okay-- see, THIS statement makes me think "Is it really the student who is the problem here??"

This program is so heinously bad, IMO, that it can (truly) make mathy kids feel as though they are losing their minds. It's like enduring a thousand paper cuts in the process of learning to write using a proper pencil grip.

Have YOU examined what it is she's having trouble with in the context of the math instruction and curriculum? It may be that there's nothing wrong with her that a better (more coherent) math curriculum couldn't fix.
