Description
Typical programming for mathematically gifted middle schoolers provides a year's acceleration into algebra in 7th grade and geometry in 8th grade, but the mathematical needs of exceptionally gifted students often require more. Interventions should focus on deeper and wider explorations, different instructional approaches to accommodate students’ learning styles, and compacting and acceleration that break out of lock-step instructional sequencing and are open-ended into even more advanced material. The presentation provides lots of classroom-ready instructional strategies for a sampler of algebra topics, using the presenter's extensive experience teaching and mentoring mathematically precocious students.
