[Ohiogift] Gifted Math student

[Eric C Calvert]

Hi Pat. You might find Susan Assouline and Ann Lupkowski-Shoplik's book "Developing Mathematical Talent" helpful. It's very practical, and there are chapters that address assessment, programming options (including, but not limited to, acceleration), and curricular considerations. It runs about $15 on Amazon.

Have a good afternoon,

Eric Calvert

Subject: [Ohiogift] Gifted Math student

We have a highly gifted 8th grade Math student moving into our district and need instructional and assessment resources.  The student was homeschooled and we need to determine the best placement.  Although acceleration is a consideration, we also want to investigate options that help students develop a deeper understanding of the subject.

1) Have any of you used the AoPS (Art of Problem Solving) online Math courses?  If so, what were your experiences?  Did your students take them for course credit at your school?

2) Are you aware of other online HS Math course options designed specifically for gifted students?

3) Can you recommend an assessment that can help determine a student's math instructional level for placement into high school courses?

Thank you!
Pat
