My son loves maths. He always has. As a toddler he would make me set him sums in the car...

He is getting fed up because the school maths only takes him 10 minutes to complete each day. He has work books and he has a tutor once a week (as he loves to be stretched) but I think what he might also enjoy is an online club or class with a maths emphasis.... Does any such thing exist?

We use Outschool now for his other interests (Science, Space, Geography) buy am wary of it for maths because I don't know how different the US curriculum is... am hoping the number of UK teachers picks up but am happy to try other providers too!

(NB this isn't about hot housing, but supporting a child who genuinely enjoys maths and learning)

Have a look at UKMT's website. It isn't a club, however DS may enjoy the junior challenges - there are some past papers online but you can also buy a book with more in and the Olympiad papers.

If they are too difficult there is also the Primary Maths Challenge which isn't run by UKMT but has similar question papers.

NRICH is good for open-ended tasks that can take as little or a long as they are interested...

This is for secondary but he might enjoy it parallel.org.uk/
