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.

I like the "coming at it sideways" concept of introducing math ideas: either presenting a project that needs new math concepts to achieve, or finding fascinating art that can be generated via math.
It sounds like she may enjoy Vi Hart's videos.
