challenging

Have you tried peer-tutoring with him? My first step would be to talk to him privately about his attitude and how to channel his abilities into something more productive than bragging. When some of my students don't understand an assignment, I get some of my higher level students to tutor them. They know not to just give answers, but to actually show them what to do. Sometimes they explain it better than I do! I agree with S.E. on finding his weaker area and having him work on that. Some other things I've seen done (and done some myself) are to use computer programs, higher level textbooks, and projects based on topics we're studying.
