Does your child struggle with math word problems? They might feel overwhelmed by numbers, terms, and sentence structure, leading to anxiety about getting the wrong answer. This is a common issue, and many parents seek tutoring services and math homework help for exactly this reason.
At PALS Learning Center, we use a curriculum aligned with the NJ Common Core that tackles the root of word problem anxiety. Here’s how:
- We focus on conceptual understanding to help students grasp the mathematical concepts behind the problems. This makes applying formulas and calculations more intuitive.
- We teach your child a systematic approach to analyzing and solving math problems by breaking them down into manageable steps.
- Our curriculum uses small, focused steps to introduce new skills and build upon previous learnings. This spiral learning approach increases confidence and mastery.
With a stronger foundation, problem-solving tools, and the confidence gained through practice, your child will be well-equipped to tackle even the most challenging word problems.

Here at PALS Learning Center, we recognize that every child has a different learning style and that this style may evolve as they age. This is why we carefully tailor our math homework to help with their individual needs in mind.
Our tutoring plans are designed to improve their foundational math skills while overcoming frustrations when solving word problems. During onboarding, we conduct initial assessments to identify your child’s overall learning level, weaknesses, and strengths and ensure the tutoring suits their needs. We also conduct interim assessments to see their progress and identify any necessary modifications or deviations in our instruction. We want to make sure your child is getting the crucial math skills and knowledge.
