My son has a fsiq of 158 and has just started y3 (second grade). His homework this week was to memorise his +2 addition facts to 20. He is actually getting worse at basic facts because he can't be bothered.

Puffin, wow. On both counts.
Unfortunately NZ doesn't do gifted. There are no schools, there is no programming in most public schools until year 7 (6th grade) and then it is for the top 15% achievers and too bad if you are 2e or anything. It is only extension/enrichment anyway. I am a solke parent and work at a not that well paying job so i can't home school. I have got him a subsidy to attend the one day a week private extension programme that the government has approved kids to attend without being marked absent but it is a stretch. My younger one doesn't score quite as high but is well above the 99th percentile.
