Sigh... so far, we've been trying to talk her through it and then change her materials when she really seems to balk. Math is becoming more and more of an area of contention. She was so intuitive with it in her early years- did all of the Singapore earlybird math when she was two and a new three. I'm looking into a tutor for next year, as I am tired of the strife.
Not being challenged often leads to kids who are afraid to take intellectual risks, and end up in a habit of underachieving. It is a real and very serious issue, and you are right to be concerned.
good luck!
