Any characteristics of mathematicaly gifted children? (can a psychologist answer my question plz)?

Answer 1

The primary characteristic would be that when he does his math homework, he gets all the answers right. He'll pick up math skills faster than his classmates.

Answer 2

So, I'm not a psychologist. I'm just going to offer my opinion..
Firstly, when I was a 2nd grader, I was tested into the gifted education program at my school. Some of the reasons for it were simply facts that I was advancing faster than my classmates and going through homework with ease.. If your child doesn't have many issues with learning or finds it a little boring or slow, they may very well be gifted. I was considered gifted because I liked to find new creative ways to do things and on my testing I scored at least in the 95th percentile on average.. But eventually math got hard for me and stuff became more advanced and complex; I'm still gifted though haha.

Anyway, one source i found on google described a high school senior who was mathematically gifted. He sent in his admission form to a college, along with a puzzle that he had created that was really difficult just to read in english that he wanted the admissions people to solve. It really depends on the age of the child and the complexity of the things that they come up with that defines whether they are mathematically gifted or not. I'd suggest talking to a gifted ed. instructor in the school on the exact characteristics of a gifted student.

Answer 3

From my experience children that are gifted at math get it the first time you show them and are often bored with the repetative way math is generally taught.

Answer 4

i think there is no hard and fast rules about the disposition of a mathematically gifted children.

Answer 5

the child should not talk to much
