Hey mathwads, help me out here. So... my 8 year old. She doesn't care about math, but she's a goddamn genius at it. Right now, with minimal effort, expended only so that I allow her to watch youtube, she's averaging the equivalent of a full grade level per month, with excellent comprehension/generalization. I do not know what to do for her because she isn't all that interested in math stuff.
Like, I can keep ratcheting her up no problem. She's passingly interested in space and robots, but not obsessively or anything. The one thing oddly enough that seems to motivate her is I told her I'd like her to teach me linear algebra once we get there (which is true), but I find I'm wishing my day job was more mathematical so I could rope her in!
We've had her do like... "programming camp" or whatever, but it really seems like they just have kids do legos and stuff? Just playing with so-called STEM toys that make parents happy.
@ZachWeinersmith You know about the FIRST robotics league, right? https://www.firstinspires.org/about/vision-and-mission
