[quote=Anonymous]Just wanted to get some ideas from here. My kid is going into second, and she loves math. She's in the gifted program, but that doesn't really mean much here in terms of what you actually get (not living in MD/Va right now) - we don't have special magnet programs or whatnot. So she's in the "high" group and gets 3 pull-outs/etc for math/reading, but overall I think she's  pretty bored in math. There are good private schools in our state, but they are quite far from where we live (45-60 mins), so I don't think it's a reasonable option - I think we have to make the best of what is looking like a very average public school system and figure out ways to bridge the gap.

So my question is, if you decided to "co-school" your kids (i.e. prep them at home), what materials did you use? And do you think these materials are not as good as, say, Mathnasium/Kumon/Aloha/Eye-Level? Because all those centers are a bit far as well (20 mins), but doable.

She's got a pretty good attitude, and my undergrad is in math, so I think I can teach her okay - just not sure what others have done in this situation. Both parents work full time, so we don't have a ton of free time.

Thanks in advance for ideas.
