Subject: Math labs in the classroom or math enrichment

Can you suggest activities for the 5th and 6th grade classroom, or 6th grade 
only, that can enrich the teacher's verbal explanation? Computer programs, 
games, a particular book of problems or challenges? I.e. our teacher has no 
enrichment available to the children during classtime. Is it possible to offer 
quiet enrichment for kids who understand the concept being explained? My 6th 
grader has decided his favorite subject, math, is no longer his favorite but 
the most boring. His teacher insists that he work advanced word problems 
alone.  He and I find these problems repetitive and unfulfilling. She does not 
understand this. Can you give me suggestions that have been proven succesful 
that I may offer her?
