[quote=Anonymous]I have experience with both! I think Beast is worth it in your situation. Khan is good for teaching basic concepts, but it doesn't go broader and deeper than the grade level material. Really, the only option that would satisfy what your kid is asking for would be to work ahead, and that's just going to make next year even more boring. I've used Khan in a homeschool situation, where getting ahead was fine, and for remediation for a kid who didn't understand something and needed to practice it at grade level, so I'm not against it. Beast on the other hand, takes grade level concepts and applies them to more challenging problems. It's exactly what a bright child who is in school and wants more math needs. It's also more fun for kids who enjoy challenge. Other things to look at: Math Kangaroo practice problems, and maybe participating in the contest Life of Fred (some kids love, some kids don't) Singapore Math's challenging word problems books[/quote]
