This article discusses the identification of the characteristics of the gifted math student, how school districts comply with the child’s needs, and how teachers can learn the importance of differentiation of instruction. ...
This article by Camilla Benbow and Lola Minor states in its abstract: "Performance on tests of specific abilities commonly associated with intelligence was contrasted between 13-year-olds identified as extremely precocious (top 1 in 10,000) in either verbal or mathematical reasoning ability. Such students differ cognitively. Verbally precocious students scored higher on verbal and general knowledge types of tests, and mathematically precocious students scored higher on tests of nonverbal reasoning, spatial ability, and memory. Results from the ...
This article is a book chapter by Ann Lupkowski-Shoplik, Micheal Sayler and Susan Assouline. It reveals information discovered when testing students in both conceptual and computational mathematics. Students scored higher on the conceptual tests. The chapter suggests that students are bored with the rote computational mathematics that are taught in the traditional classroom and so they speed through them and make mistakes. It states that talented children are ready for a higher level of computational math and a much higher level of conceptual m ...
This research article discusses the abilities and behaviors of mathematically gifted children. The authors' findings can help reveal how parents can identify young children who are advanced in mathematical reasoning. ...
This article offers advice on instructional and curricular modifications for a gifted child. It also explains the responsibility of schools and teachers in developing giftedness in mathematics. ...
This article is about differentiation. Due to the broad range of academic needs among students, teachers find themselves in a dilemma. The Burris Laboratory School outlines how teachers can reach all the students in their classrooms when they are academically diverse, have special needs, are ESL learners or have some combination of any or all of these factors. ...
This study is a research grant project designed to create an enriched and accelerated curriculum for mathematically talented elementary students. ...
This article explores things to consider for the mathematics curriculum for students who are talented in math. Subject acceleration is explored and SMPY is discussed. Authored by Julian Stanley, Ann Lupkowski and Susan Assouline. ...

Ann Lupkowski Shoplik, Ph.D, the director of the Carnegie Mellon Institute for Talented Elementary Students, conducted a seminar for parents of mathematically-talented students. A number of topics were discussed, including program options and opportunities for math-talented students. ...
BOOK REVIEW (Davidson Institute) - This article offers a book review of the first edition of Developing Mathematical Talent. It describes the main topics in each of the book chapters. The reviewer highly recommends this book as a resource for both parents and educators, and points out that although the book focuses on one academic area, the information is applicable to working with students in various academic domains. ...
In this discussion, Dr. Julian Stanley covers supplemental, accelerative, and enriching academic facilitation for boys and girls who reason mathematically or verbally exceptionally well. ...
This article by Camilla Benbow and Julian Stanley covers eight years of studying mathematically precocious youth participating in talent search programs. It reports: 1) How the mathematically precocious students were identified; 2) How they progressed in the area of creative achievement; 3) How they progressed in their educational development with regard to fast-paced classes, gender, and early college; and 4) How instructional programs for these students must be flexible and continually adapted to the abilities of the students. ...
This article examines five environmental factors for relation to productivity in regard to educational achievement and aspirations. Subjects were mathematically precocious students. The study found that outside influences do have an effect on these students. Authored by Camilla Benbow, Olya Arjmand and Herbert Walberg. ...
This article explains how to apply a mentor model in math. The model is explained in step by step detail and outcomes are explored as well as examples provided. Authored by Ann Lupkowski, Susan Assouline and Julian Stanley. ...
