Mine wasn't mathy either. But horrible science was so wonderful for him i tried murderous math and lo and behold he is now mathy at 7- you might also try bedtime math for that. DS enjoyed it. He is not natural with math facts although has picked up speed but seems to intuitively understand much more complicated math - goes with the science. He already gets and enjoys mm's math games and loves algebra type things.
Other ideas - microscope kit - not necessarily a real microscope could do the ones witht. Big screens and nobs for little hands.
I probably have more thing to recommend which I forgetting - like snap circuits!
Small hijack - I am getting ready to approach principal after getting nowhere with science teacher. To get some back up, I gave him a 3 grade levels up state science test. He missed 4 out of 45 questions for a top score, and 1 of those he missed because he was more accurate than the question called for - and two he missed because of unwillingness to write out the complete answer (an issue we have with his homework and happily he was piqued so this might have cured him of that). So in reality doing only massive ingestion of reading material he is unchallenged at 3 grade levels up.
We just started a great courses course video on the mysteries of the universe - advertised as college level and he was eating it up - and already knew a lot of it! And was getting the math involved too!
