Challenging Units for Gifted Learners: Math: Teaching the Way Gifted Students Think
I've recently become acquainted with a Prufrock Press title for math that feeds both my inner bibliophile and interest in education. The 2011 math edition ofChallenging Units for Gifted Learners: Teaching the Way Gifted Students Think(Smith, Kenneth J., Ph.D. and Susan Stonequist) is an excellent tool for homeschoolers, after-schoolers, and classroom instructors alike. Providing both a road map for instructors who may not be familiar with mathematical precocity as well as engaging math units that incorporate financial planning, the building of a miniature golf course, and the probability of winning carnival games,Challenging Unitsprovides real-life challenges for math smart middle schoolers who may not be motivated by traditional math units. --Susan Hyde,Raising Maine, January 21, 2011
