Moderately gifted.
Yep different levels of gifted but hard to work out what that means sometimes. Especially if you have a child who also has learning challenges. The challenges can mask exactly how gifted your child is.
By the way our DD only worked out why long division was important last year and she is 13. She also has handwriting issues so I suspect she dodged long division because she didn't want to do it and told herself it wasn't important because she could get the answer other ways with less writing.
Gathering information, as you are, is the first step in getting the school to help. Don't expect them to understand gifted issues so you have to be the informed one. It's tough as we are used to experts having the necessary expertise but gifted is not a well understood area. Asynchrony and twice exceptional are even less well understood.
