Hello there,
I am seeking guidance on how to best support my 12-year-old child,;who is currently in 7th grade; but significantly ahead in mathematics. My child has always shown an intense interest in math and has excelled well beyond their grade level, completing pre-algebra by the end of 5th grade and moving on to Algebra I in 6th grade.
Currently; the school offers limited options for further acceleration beyond a year or two ahead; and I am concerned that my child is not being sufficiently challenged. We have considered the possibility of enrolling them in an online math program or having them take high school level courses through a dual enrollment option; but I am not sure what would be the best fit socially and academically.
Recommendations for online math programs that can offer advanced and flexible learning.
Managing the social aspects of having a child who is much younger than their peers in more advanced classes.
Also, I have gone through this post;

Any other resources or strategies for keeping a mathematically gifted child engaged.
Thank you in advance for your help and assistance.
