[quote=Anonymous]We use Singapore math word problems- it's not the "boring" stuff because these word problems are "very" intellectually challenging. We are going to try Beast Academy (AoPS) this summer.

I have my seven year keep a running list and do the grocery math for me in the store (explains the "deals" amd helping me weigh produce). I don't have much "outing" advice beyond what you have already heard or thought of.

We provide an allowance and have DS save money toward things on his "want" list. I'm trying to get DS to keep a rudimentary ledger.

Books: "Good Times Travel Agency" for "fun history has been a recent favorite. We're going to try some experiments in "Perfectly Perilous Math" this summer.

Our favorite apps tend to be "mathy" (Mayan Multiplication, Math Ninja), but he also likes "Stack the States" and "Stack the Countries." Story Bird is a nice writing tool online. I think you can use the basic version for free.

You might look at the "Well Trained Mind" community- it's primarily homeschoolers and after schoolers. The folks there will probably have great ideas.
