Description
Wondering how to extend math beyond the numbers for gifted learners? Knowing that gifted students in the middle years bring a diverse mix of learning needs to math classrooms, creating academically responsive instruction to ensure genuine challenge and deeper understanding in this discipline is key to maximizing interest and potential! Guided by best practice literature and insights from working with math teachers, participants learn how to develop strong and defensible curriculum that is concept/big idea oriented and how to implement low-prep differentiated strategies that converge on these concepts/big ideas. Curriculum templates and resources are provided.
