I guess I am just echoing Sweetie - but I will elaborate.
ALEKS is an online math tutor, basically. For a minimal fee, you can sign your child up for ALEKS. For example, there is a short free trial you can sign up for.
ALEKS starts by doing an assessment to see what your child needs to master at a given grade level. After the assessment, the child works through the problem types that ALEKS sees as a need. I think three correct answers means that you move on to the next problem type. Can't remember for sure - but it is something minimal like that. So, no repetitive practicing like they get in school.
My DS is PG and we started him out at 3rd grade ALEKS when he was 6. Took him 2 weeks to master the topics that he hadn't already mastered. Fourth grade took about a month. By fifth grade, we started getting into topics that they don't actually do at school, but which are theoretically within the grasp of a fifth grader. (I guess my point is, start your child at where their school grade and move up from there. No sense in requiring a 100% assessment though. 95% is enough to justify moving to the next grade of material.)
As my son got older, the need for supplemental work lessened as he learned how to challenge himself through other means. He got half way through algebra I before we gave up ALEKS in favor of an online chess tutor and eventually no supplements at all.
My daughter didn't like ALEKS as well as my son did. Sometimes we found that she did better with a parent teaching a tough topic than with the computer. So, we had to interact more with her.
If you do want to supplement at home, I suggest looking into the Art of Problem Solving books. I bought the Algebra book on that and my son worked through some of that. THe deal here is less on quantity of material Like aleks, but more on just a few really hard problems. -- which is another fun type of challenge for the right kid.
The really weird thing is that my son is 12 now. He only skipped the one grade and is taking Alegra I at school. He could probably have passed the final for Alegra I on day one - but he is still learning from taking the course.
Anyway - I guess my point is, I like supplementing at home versus pushing too fast at school. Push as fast as you have to - don't get me wrong. But do explore the options of ALEKS and other online programs. If they work, they might give you more options to choose from.
ALEKS worked for us and I am so glad we did ALEKS.
