The math dilemma

What should I do about math?

Should we continue to follow a formal curriculum? We absolutely loved RightStart A, but B just doesn't fit right. On some days, we can do five lessons in twenty minutes because they are so easy for John. On another, we can't finish the first part of the lesson because it is so hard. Such lessons can take us a week. I feel like I spend the whole time tweaking and frustrated. We play math games, something which John loves. I recently started giving him mazes and let him work through Rush Hour Jr. for a few days for math time. I feel like we ought to do math, yet nothing but math games seems to fit right now.
