DD is getting most correct, 5 out of six on most sheets. I wouldn't say breezing through, she completes in about 10 minutes. She is in pool for aap. Like your DC, she could be more legible. She scribbles and diagrams in the margin. She is enjoying the word problem format.

In our house, you don't get to say something is too easy if you can't do it perfectly. (You can think it, but don't say it to the parents. Working carefully and mastering the parts that are hard for you are important skills. You're not bored, you're lazy.)
