This Is a Messy Job, but Somebody's Got to Do It!

Pearson, Erica

Gifted Child Today Magazine, v19 n3 p32-35 May-Jun 1996

Five problem-based learning activities tested by fourth-grade gifted students are suggested. Each open-ended problem is intended to be worked on by a small group for 30 minutes. Student reactions are quoted and analyzed, noting that students became more willing to take risks, test the properties and limits of their materials, and learn from their errors. (DB)
