I am hoping that this is a troll post.
The only answer is activities that they enjoyed because they interested them. Let your kid tell youw hat they want to do and support them. |

Mine did little league baseball, bowling league, and Minecraft.
Why are you worried they won’t keep up? |

| None. Totally unnecessary. If you're kid really loves math and wants to do more, than look into competitions. |

| If they can't keep up with 4th grade math they shouldn't be in aap... |

| I had him go through a grade 4 math workbook over the summer. We don't do anything during the school year- too busy with sports generally. |

Not at all. For most people with a general strength in math, math doesn't really get hard until college level or higher |

| Mathnasium. Also IXL for extra practice |

| Mine were doing AOPS since 1st grade, more for the interest and excel beyond the current grade level or AAP, not for keeping up with AAP (AAP math is easy for them). They are planning to do competition classes once they enter middle school. |

| From a parent whise kidding college —let your kids advance in math. AOPS is the best! Also make sure they do a lot of writing at a young age. And reading — these things are hard to catch up later in K-12. Of course, let them have fun too! But academically, these are the things I wish we had focused on. |

Lots of sports, art, and play dates!! 
We were never in the Kumon/ Mathnasium crowd to begin with, but my sense is that push wanes a bit once the kids are locked into AAP? The next big decision will be Algebra in 7th or 8th and it really feels like the child's natural aptitude should decide that. A kid who isn't ready to accelerate further will have trouble making it to Calculus as a Junior in HS. |

Yeah the IMO is just peanuts for intellects such as yours, isn't it? |
