FWIW, we're currently going through this with DS5.5 and the assignments that he's getting, particularly for math. We haven't yet found a good solution. Homework sometimes takes up to an hour for "number pairs". Even if we dangle the carrot of Timez Attack (computer multiplication game) it only works about half the time.

When we play informal learning games we get the "hard questions, please!"

Wish we had a good answer.
