Cathy - I just got a brillient idea.
Ask for him to be able to use his 'extra' Math time in school working on his keyboarding skill with some computer software!
Actually, I think subject acceleration to 3rd is the best idea, but if the school won't bite....get him going with typing, it saved my sanity and my DS's sanity too! My DS started learning at age 7, and it finally klicked in around age 9 - then he was ready for a full skip that would have been very difficult without the typing skills.
In 6th grade he typed everything, then last year, his fine motor skills kicked in and now he can write beautifully when he needs to - so much for 'If I let him type, then he'll never learn to write properly.'
Good luck
