My children like EPGY and have learned from it. In recent EPGY sessions, my 3rd-grader, doing EPGY 5th grade math, has worked on
multiplication of numbers with several digits
long division
multiplying and dividing fractions
identifying lines of symmetry
logic
getting information from bar graphs and pie graphs
IMO, this is what is wrong with US and UK 'modern' education.
5th grade? EPGY (which is supposed to be for gifted kids, right?) tell me you are joking.
Here is how it was when I was a kid in the UK back in the 70s:-
multiplication of numbers with several digits - 2td grade (on paper at first and then mentally)
long division - 2rd grade (ditto)
multiplying and dividing fractions -3th grade
identifying lines of symmetry - 2nd grade
logic - not sure that this refers to in this context
getting information from bar graphs and pie graphs - so obvious I don't ever remember being 'told' how these worked
