Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For the first time, the "Gifted Child Today Reader" series brings together the best articles published in "Gifted Child Today", the nation's most popular gifted education journal. Each book in the series is filled with exciting and practical classroom ideas, useful summaries of research findings, discussions of identification and classroom management, and informed opinions about educating gifted kids. Anyone involved in education will benefit from the practical, research-based ideas this unique series has to offer. Given gifted students' accelerated and intuitive thought processes regarding mathematics, teachers need to design differentiated curricula and use strategies that increase the complexity and pace of instruction. The authors provide some specific strategies for both organizing a gifted program and teaching mathematically gifted students in either the general education classroom or in special settings. "Math Education for Gifted Students" offers information about how to differentiate for mathematically gifted students, as well as tried-and-true instructional strategies to employ, including tiered lessons, distance learning, and activities combining architecture and math.

Book excerpt: This open access Topical Survey offers a brief overview of the current state of research on and activities for mathematically gifted students around the world. This is of interest to a broad readership, including educational researchers, research mathematicians, mathematics teachers, teacher educators, curriculum designers, doctoral students, and other stakeholders. It first discusses research concerning the nature of mathematical giftedness, including theoretical frameworks and methodologies that are helpful in identifying and/or creating mathematically gifted students, which is described in this section. It also focuses on research on and the development of mathematical talent and innovation in students, including connections between cognitive, social and affective aspects of mathematically gifted students. Exemplary teaching and learning practices, curricula and a variety of programs that contribute to the development of mathematical talent, gifts, and passion are described as well as the pedagogy and mathematics content suitable for educating pre-service and in-service teachers of mathematically gifted students. The final section provides a brief summary of the paper along with suggestions for the research, activities, and resources that should be available to support mathematically gifted students and their teachers, parents, and other stakeholders.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Good teaching is responsive to individual differences, tailoring instruction to meet the needs of individual learners. In gifted education, students need a curriculum that is differentiated (by level, complexity, breadth, and depth), developmentally appropriate, and conducted at a more rapid rate. This collection of essays from experts in the field addresses the particular needs educational institutions have in serving their gifted students. Topics include policy and philosophy; specific program models; supplemental materials and programs; knowledge and skills that teachers need in their work; international opportunities and possibilities; and equity. Many of the points raised are as valid for general education students as for gifted students. Many relate equally well to high school or elementary school. And many apply across the curriculum--not just to mathematics. This book contains nine chapters: (1) Philosophy and Policies to Guide Middle School Mathematics Instruction: Issues of Identification, Acceleration, and Grouping (Tamra Stambaugh and Camilla P. Benbow); (2) Program Models: Matching the Program to the Abilities, Needs, and Interests of Mathematically Talented Students (Ann Lupkowski-Shoplik); (3) Using Curriculum to Develop Mathematical Promise in the Middle Grades (M. Katherine Gavin and Linda Jensen Sheffield); (4) Preparing Teachers for Mathematically Talented Middle School Students (Carole Greenes, Dawn Teuscher, and Troy P. Regis); (5) Extracurricular Opportunities for Mathematically Gifted Middle School Students (Richard Rusczyk); (6) Articulation (Janet Lynne Tassell, Rebecca Ruth Stobaugh, Beth Duvall Fleming, and Chloe R. Harper); (7) Middle School Geometry: a Case Study (John Benson); (8) Equity (Max Warshauer, Terry McCabe, M. Alejandra Sorto, Sharon Strickland, Hiroko Warshauer, and Alex White); and (9) Inspiring and Developing Student Interest: Several Examples from Foreign Schools (Alexander Karp). A preface and afterword are also included.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Gifted students have the potential to learn material earlier and faster, to handle more complexity and abstraction, and to solve complex problems better. This potential, however, needs stimulating experiences from home and school or it will not unfold. These books are designed to help teachers provide the stimulating curricula that will nurture this potential in school. The units presented in this series are based on research into how these students actually think differently from their peers and how they use their learning styles and potential not merely to develop intellectual expertise, but to move beyond expertise to the production of new ideas. The Math book includes units that ask students to develop a financial portfolio that includes high- and low-risk stocks, options and margins, AAA and junk bonds, mutual funds, and money markets; use math, science, engineering, technology, and art to design and build a miniature golf course; develop games based on probability; and run a real-life small business.
