Thinking Blocks

Well I haven't really had a chance to see how the graphic organizers in the Go Solve Word Problems program, Asha Jitendra's book, and the Math Expression's textbook all compare.  From a very brief overview, it seems the graphics are different, although the core concept (teaching that word problems have a structure and using a graphic organizer to organize the information) is the same.  Another math coach got me re-interested in using Thinking Blocks to solve word problems that is a part of the Math Playground site.  The biggest bonus is that it is free.  Another thing is that it is similar to the Math Mountain graphic representation that our textbook, Math Expressions uses.
