Dear SeekingMyLord,
If your dd wants to learn multiplication, maybe she would like this website,
http://www.mathcats.com
My kids have lots of fun there, and it's a great resource.
Timed drills?

Dear SeekingmyLord,
I was just wondering what methods you are using which she resisted? Where is she conceptually now, in math?
How is she is advanced--just in her memorization skills? Is she reading and remembering things?
Maybe we can start sharing ideas and resources. My son loves math and keeps his sisters interested in math, along with me. I'm going to start a new thread, here in the math section because I'm not interested in discussing drills, and that's the subject on this thread.
Thanks.

Dear seeking,
I think you could let her learn about some mathematicians. You both probably would like to read about Carl Frederick Gauss.
Also, Theoni Pappas wrote books called The Adventures of Penrose the Mathematical Cat and The Further Adventures of Penrose...
Then you can introduce her to Fibonacci numbers, Tangrams, the abacus, etc.
