[quote=Anonymous]I'm no expert, my son is advanced, but not to this degree.  From what I've read around these parts, one strategy is to go deeper, not faster.  So explore ways to use math in interesting ways beyond what's taught in class.  I like the Beast Academy books, we used those for my Ker last year when he was at home, but it was tough because he couldn't read yet.  She'll probably have to figure out ways to supplement his education at home, but it is possible these days with remote options.  I would also suggest seeing if there is a montessori school available (though that's probably a long-shot).

Its okay for kids to be bored in one subject, learning how to get through boring things is a valuable skill to learn at an early age.  If he's bored in all other subjects, that's a different matter I suppose.

The other suggestions I've seen repeatedly are to get such children involved in other activities that use different parts of their brain such as a second language, music, and chess.
