[quote=Anonymous]Well, I got this far, but it won’t let me post the rest yet, so I’ll try posting another chunk.  Here’s part 2:

Now, for the resources I’m more familiar with:

Hoagies is a fantastic resource on all things related to giftedness and also has links to enrichment websites for all subjects and ages.  Here are some math links that I think would be helpful:

I don’t know if he can read yet, but here are some math books that might be of interest.  Theoni Pappas wrote some great books for kids featuring “Penrose the Cat” which explore some peripheral math concepts that probably wouldn’t come up in a standard math curriculum.  (The one my daughter had was Fractals, Googols, and Other Mathematical Tales.)

Here are some Problems of the Week he might enjoy:
Saint Ann's School (Does provide answers)

Princeton Friends School (Does not come with answers)

The Mind Your Decisions Youtube channel presents and explains brainteasers and math problems with a range of difficulty levels.

Set is a game that focuses on patterns. While there is a card based version, the creators also have a daily puzzle online.

He might enjoy the game 24.  While the math wouldn’t be difficult for him, the trick is to use basic operations on a set of random playing cards to reach the total of 24.  I used to have a link to a website with an online solitaire version, but the link stopped working. You can probably find another or an app. Here's a basic description of it in it's original card game version:

(for some reason, I’m having trouble with the link. If Wikipedia asks if you mean 24 (puzzle)?, just select that option.)
