[quote=Anonymous]OP, your child is plenty challenged. It's obvious to me you've been doing a great job answering questions and exposing your child to higher level material. Otherwise how could he know what a square root is and calculate area? Just do more of what you are doing and he'll continue to be happy and "challenged."
The great thing about your child is that he isn't bored which means you have created an appropriate environment for him.

Many previous posters are raining a bit on your parade by questioning the accuracy of your assessment of your child. Please don't be offended by this. It's very natural for parents of early elementary kids to think their child is a brilliant. The gap between kids who have had involved parents who do things like take them to museums and read to them regularly and those that don't is very large at that age and when you look around your child will look very advanced. It's hard to tell at this point whether your child will continue to be a high flyer but if you want to explore this further I would suggest hopping over to the Davidson Gifted web site and posting the testing information in more detail and some of the people there can help you out. You're not going to find the answers you are looking for here. You'll mostly get snark here.
