Importance of school - inculcating passion. Are we able to support students with programmes especially in cases where parents cannot support at home?

Students have to put in effort individually through hard work, dedication and willingness to achieve excellence.

Renzulli -
Creativity - more willing to explore a variety of answers compared to other students
Task commitment - necessary for students to put in effort but secondary to the other 2

The selection criteria does not consider the speed of the student since the selection is based on the exam grade.

The checklist articulates the criteria that a teacher can use to identify a student's ability, though the process of identifying a student as HA is not yet so formalised.

A last note... How accurate would it be to identify a student's ability based on attitude? A student may be very keen to try puzzles and non-routine questions but may not necessarily be considered a HA math learner.]]> 2023-03-23 08:41:26 UTC https://padlet.com/moegebr/6c73hrl9pxrih175/wish/2528489832 https://padlet.com/moegebr/6c73hrl9pxrih175/wish/2528491391 Usage of HAL checklist to identify students talent in Maths should be based on teacher observations and through students' work.

For those less ready:
Provide a scalene triangle.
Ask students cut out the vertices and place them adjacent to each other to show that the sum of angles is 180 degrees.
Repeat with an obtuse triangle.
Repeat with a triangle of a different size.

For those who are more ready:
Ask students to measure the angles of a triangle.
