Buy her all the Murderous Maths books by Kjartan Poskitt, and encourage her to play on the Murderous Maths web site as much as possible.
The books are really funny, but also mathematically excellent. As a maths teacher I can't recommend them highly enough. The books go from the basics up to A-level stuff, and would stretch her without being beyond her.

When I think back on how I got interested in math, I think one of the pivotal events was that I applied for, and was selected to attend, a "summer science program" in mathematics in the summer before my senior year in high school. Way back then, these programs were sponsored by the National Science Foundation. I don't know if this is still the case, but I gather from a google search that there are still some summer science programs around. Maybe your daughter would be interested in attending something similar; if so, she would need your support.

Maybe try to interest her in science and engineering by showing her some examples of technology that is developed by people who were probably doing very well in math just like her when they were her age. Math is a very essential part of these fields and so if she continues to do well at math, the sky is the limit.

Something special that she could keep forever would be a promise ring. You can buy or give her one of yours that she has had her eye on. You give her the ring and tell her that it symbolizes her commitment to her education and hard work. And every year, if she does good, you can add a little something to it. Something else that you can do is make her a special dinner in her honor. I like the promise ring better, because she can keep it forever. Good Luck to you and your daughter!

If she is good in Math, she can go into engineering, which always have more boys than girls. Tell her she can outsmart the boys!
She can major in Biomedical engineering, which is electrical engineering plus medical hardware instruments, so she can either be an electrical engineer or go into medical school for MD

simply asking this question shows that you want good things for your daughter.
As she gets older, if you do more of the same and remember that what she chooses is important to her, you'll make a really splendid job
