Math frustration-calling in reinforcements

I was so frustrated with the word problems my son’s math curriculum presented yesterday. We are using some of Singapore’s products. I just couldn’t figure out how they wanted the concepts taught. I finally just stopped the lesson with my son until I could study the material better. Also called our math tutor to discuss the problems. Fifth grade math had me stressed!  I would like to rewire my brain a bit.

Side note-a math book recommended to me:

“The Number Devil: a Mathematical Adventure” by Hans Magnus Enzensbeeger
