I have a degree in physics. I learned to memorize the material. It takes a lot of work to get it memorized. Maybe that's just called "studying", but in the end, I always got that AHA! moment. Don't give up too soon, that's the key. If you and your daughter are reasonably smart (and I can tell you are more than that, reading your posts), you should be able to work through it. Also, unless the teacher forbids use of a particular method for problem solving, any means available are fair game for use. Except cheating, of course.
"There is no royal road to geometry, sire" is said to be a response of Euclid to King Ptolemy I when he asked for a short cut to the Elements (of Geometry).
One thing to know is that every mathematician has had to struggle with it. Mathematics is a harsh Mistress who tolerates no errors.

If you get to thinking you’re a person of some influence, try ordering somebody else’s dog around.
