Unfortunately, we probably should have had her there at 10-11yo instead of 14, since she had a lot of years to think that mathematics was a matter of just knowing, intuiting, and/or needing no practice to master. I'm a little concerned about that attitude heading into college
This is why DW and I have DD9 doing the AoPS Pre-Algebra now as we do not want her to fall into the rut of thinking that Maths is supposed to be a facile pursuit. Some of the questions definitely give her cause to think.
She hasn't given up on any but she has needed a couple of attempts to get some of the challenge questions right. Going from SG Maths 5A and 5B to this took a good couple of weeks of hand holding at the start because it really drills in and gets into the nitty gritty instead of lightly skimming the surface causing nary a ripple.
