I really struggle with transcribing verbal math problems into equations and then connecting the pieces together. I've found that most websites offer mental math drills only – which I seem to struggle less with – but I would appreciate any resources that offer full-scale quantitative problems. 

Thank you!

Try the “crafting cases” analytical section in the free course, that should help. They have good resources on ways to create an equation out of non-quantitative prompts and how to tie the insights back into the case.
