There is a child in grade 5 who appears to excel way beyond his years in the area of mathematics. I’ve been asked by the ESDNL board and a prfoessor to potentially work with him and create some kind of enrichment for him through some sort of challenge. The boy is said to be working at a grade 10-math level. Currently he is still sitting in his grade 5 class for math, clearly excelling past his peers. It is with the hope that through my work with this child, he will once again be challenged by math and therefore not become bored by it. I am very excited to work with this student, and hoping to learn a lot from him as well. My initial plan is to get to know this student, on a personal and mathematical level so I can find relevant activities that he will not only enjoy but will benefit from and challenge his thinking.
QUESTIONS:
What type of activities might work best for this student? (refer to previous list)
Should he be taken out of math class and do an alternate curriculum?
What will this student’s future attitude towards math be?
