He was in the gifted/high accelerated self contained class at our school. The entire class skipped 4rd grade math & was working on 5th grade math. (Back when it was a different curriculum that spiraled.. now they do a compressed class.) This class was notorious for it's HUGE homework load.
DD has operated in a similar situation for the past few years. Her math HW is and was quite variable but might take anywhere from 15 minutes to yes, an hour. Her focus is not awesome when working at home, but from what other parents said, this was not unusual. DD has always been a straight A student in math and has never had an issue completing work or tests in class (I have assumed that if there was a truly a "work pace" problem, she would not be able to complete these in time given). Typically, DD has had an easier time with math assignments from the standard textbook, but her teachers have always supplemented with other work they got from elsewhere which was more difficult--accelerated/gifted math stuff. I consider DD a "good" but not extremely gifted math student. In this area, she seems to be in line with her tested MG status.
