    Jumping in late...
    Ds9 learned abt Alegbra not through textbooks. He loves his Edward Zaccoro's Real World Algebra. He started reading them when he was 7. One of the Murderous Math books "Phantom X" is on Algebra too. Now he does his Algebra with Thinkwell. He likes it enough to do it daily (20-30 mins).

    I think "deeper and broader" is good. This is actually what some gifted programs do. They do not accelerate the kids but they get more exposure by doing more research/ projects/ presentation/ social service etc. However, not all schools / parents know how to do that. I think it comes with experience too .

    Well I broke down an bought Lial's Basic College Mathematics. Many on another board are using this for prealgebra. I'm hoping that with the Key to books will get us started. The comments about the AoP courses being slower paced is very reassuring, that was a concern for us also.
