Please make sure your kid gets the enrichment he needs! Many people here would be happy to recommend resources.

  Yeah, we are free range parents, but we are kind of recognizing we should help him develop his math talent. I can do math okay, I majored in engineering, but he’s got a math intuition I lack. He’s also got a pretty short attention span, though.

    In 3rd grade, my mother went in for a parent-teacher conference, and my teacher (who was a complete asshole) gave me terrible marks on behavior, but then said I was great at math. She literally said “whenever I have a math problem or something I don’t understand, I always ask Michael.” My mom nearly fell out of her chair. What 3rd grade teacher has 3rd grade math problems they need a 3rd grader’s help with?! My mom got me a math tutor literally the next day, and I’ve never been more thankful (in hindsight). That tutor focused on teaching me advanced math (for my age), and suddenly my behavior improved. Funny that. So my recommendation would be, if possible, find a math tutor for enrichment. I don’t mean “start studying for the SAT,” so hopefully don’t take it that way. :)
