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.
@ZachWeinersmith Some ideas:
- Programming, especially with an exciting goal like "make a computer game" or "make a program to automate (x)"
- Popular science books. Maybe start with "What If?", since it's fun, but if she finds an especially-interesting field (e.g. astronomy, quantum stuff, social sciences, ...) she can go deep.
- Popular math/math-history books. As a kid I especially liked "A History of Pi", "E: The Story of a Number".
Each has a chance of awakening a thirst for knowledge.
