I never imagined I'd have a child who declares, "I love math!" to anyone who might ask. We're an unschooling family, so people tend to imagine that my kids won't be so academically inclined. Nonetheless, my eldest daughter has devoured a host of math learning resources.
It makes a certain sense given that her dad also has an affinity for mathematical concepts. He's a software engineer and general science enthusiast. My daughter sees him working through problems using his appreciable math skills.
As I suggested in "Unschooling Reading," unschoolers learn things in a variety of ways from a variety of sources. I'll tell you how my "advanced" mathematical daughter has approached her math learning, as well as some other ways an enthusiastic or reluctant child might develop a sturdy foundation of math skills.
