Meeting the Needs of Talented Elementary Math Students
Gavin, M. Katherine
Understanding Our Gifted, v16 n1 p19-22 Fall 2003
Developing mathematical talent at the elementary level is a complex issue--one that is influenced by many components. The three main factors are: (1) levels of Math giftedness; (2) teacher background; and (3) appropriate resource materials. Keeping these issues in mind and knowing that each district and, indeed, each student is unique, this article describes some programming models and resources that are used successfully in schools. (Contains 2 resources and 7 online resources.)
