We are teaching math to kids "because it's important and is everywhere". Mostly kids believe us and do learn it in school...
Yet do we use that much of the math in our lives ourselves? Do we even have that much chance to apply the approaches and solutions we learned?
Most of the math is outsorced to devices and ready-made solutions. A lot of those internal details are too complex to EL5.
So if a kid did really crack the math at his grade, then instead of expanding it further, I'd rather try to find ways to apply that knowledge in life. Spot the uses around, make uses in projects. See how that math is fused in physics, well, really around us.
