It is very important to allow these students to explain their thinking and why they are correct. Creating heterogeneous groups to promote discussions is also extremely important.

In reply to Lydia Hernandez. It is very typical for GT students to avoid eye contact.

As educators, we must know the student’s characteristics to identify gifted students, differentiate instruction, and meet their needs. These students must be challenged and supported to help them reach their Math potential.

I was labeled “gifted” in school in the 90s, but I wasn’t really, at least according to this article. I didn’t think outside the box, I always showed my work, and saw the value in that (that the teacher can see where you went wrong in your thinking if you did.) I was simply “advanced” because I loved to play school from an early age and got instruction at home from parents and siblings. Therefore, I was able to do 6th grade level math at 9 years of age. I never let on though, because what kid wants to do more work than they have to? I didn’t see the stuff I did at home as extra work because it was fun and I did it when I wanted because I wanted to. The part about real world usage did resonate with me. I liked doing math for math’s sake up to a certain age but I never considered going into a STEM field because I couldn’t make the connection of what we learned in class with a career I could see myself doing. I always assumed I would be doing something right brained.

Some GT students can solve problems in their head, many times is difficult for them to stop and think about their thought process to get the answer

In reply to Consuelo Pantoja. I agree they tend to answer the questions logically in their heads. Some don't see the time spent on step by step processes.

In reply to Angelina. Enrichment experiences that are designed for GT students to understand basic content with further research to produce a product is end result of proper differentiation for this population.

It was a very useful article.

A good plan has to include enrichment experiences, and differentiation of instruction

How often have you heard that you have to show your work.
