I think you may start teaching her next lesson of her books. She will be fast enough to respond in class while teacher teaching. I think it is a shortest way to get your desired objective.

You do not say I make sure she does her homework but that we do homework. We play building with her. What are WE building?
You mention playing boxes are they the building blocks you are talking about. You also state; "gets her to do sums for me without giving her tips, would like her to be the best." Do you mean I get (not gets) her to do sums for me without giving her tips (for I) would like her to be the best. I hope grammar and sentence structure is NOT one of the things you are trying to teach her.
You want your daughter not to blend in, but stick out like a sore thumb; right? Always being smarter than or dumber than is not what a child wants. No one wants to be dumber than but smarter than can make a child feel like the odd ball. If she doesn't let it go to her head and makes a point of making the other children feel important then I think she will be OK.

Concentrate not on making her the best in the class but on making her perform better and better consistently so that she doesn't have to bother who her competitor is but becomes confident of doing extremely well. Local Star status can become misleading and tends to build complacence. Give her the famous example of POLE VAULT CHAMPION SERGEI BUBKA who broke his own World Records any number of times in pursuit of the limits of human capabilities. That will be the best gift she can get from her parents. It will also free her from Jealousy towards friends and classmates while she is progressing towards the top.
Having said this for her future studies I would like to caution you against overstressing the poor little kid for the vanity of the elders.

It's nice to know that a mother like you still have time to help your child in her homework. It's not bad that you want something good for your child but i think you just need to wait until your child is very much ready to learn. It is not good to force your child into something he is not yet ready to learn because it might have negative effects to her in the future, like losing interest in studies. At the age of four, you can teach your child the ABC's, numbers like 1 to 10, basic colors, and shapes. At this age they are not yet ready to absorb everything. Reading bed times story to your child would also help her listening skills, help her imagine the scene while you are telling the story. After, reading a few paragraphs you can asks some questions and she will anwer.

You are pushing your daughter too much. She's 4, not 14. A four year old should not be doing math and other homework; she should be playing with her toys and enjoying her time with her parents.

Love and constant positive reinforcement is the best way to help a child achieve their optimum potential in life. To want more than that is merely an ego trip for a parent!

Let her understand the things around her. Let her find a way to solve a complicated thing and give her enough time to think and make her feel special and loved by everyone and it will stay that way no matter what happens.

Try introducing her to a musical instrument, maybe the piano, but not until she can properly read music... maybe around age 6 or 7 is when most kids can comprehend it.

don't expect too much from her, she's too young. and don't be insecured to those parents whose son/daughter are too bright even at a young age. in that case, sorry for this line, you're being too much proud that it may lead to being agressive. in math, you can play with her using balls and little by little introduce her to the four basic operations - addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division. in english, try communicating with her using the english language and read an english story for her at bedtime.

Don't do anything, your going to ruin her by wanting her to be the best. Let her learn along with the class, let her learn at her own pace if she is slower than the other kids.
