However, they need to be taught how to model quality problem-solving habits, namely perseverance in staying with problems longer. 
Additionally, problems for gifted students should be open-ended and contain multiple solutionary methods. ]]> 2018-09-30 20:36:52 UTC https://padlet.com/hurleygc10/iz9oxgsqs3uv/wish/287381905 hurleygc10 https://padlet.com/hurleygc10/iz9oxgsqs3uv/wish/287389767 Teachers need to emphasize that the critical thinking skills that are essential for mathematicians transfer to other subjects. Stating claims, giving proof, and defending arguments is a cornerstone of mathematics and any subject. Lastly, gifted students want authentic problems that show up in the real-world. ]]> 2018-09-30 21:43:56 UTC https://padlet.com/hurleygc10/iz9oxgsqs3uv/wish/287389767 hurleygc10 https://padlet.com/hurleygc10/iz9oxgsqs3uv/wish/287389837 The ultimate form of learning is student led and in the form of discovery and exploration. Well-formed questions that are aimed at understanding concepts rather than simply attaining the correct answer develop a deeper level of intellect than procedural mimicry. ]]> 2018-09-30 21:44:40 UTC https://padlet.com/hurleygc10/iz9oxgsqs3uv/wish/287389837 hurleygc10 https://padlet.com/hurleygc10/iz9oxgsqs3uv/wish/287389886 Ramp up the difficulty and slow down the process. 
"Going fast isn't always better. In fact, allowing students to discuss, struggle, and reflect takes time, but it is well worth it."

This has been proven true for mathematics instruction across a variety of grouping strategies including ability grouping."
