As the math specialist at the Neag Center for Gifted Education, this is a question I frequently hear from elementary teachers and gifted education specialists. As you probably are aware, there are several books of math problems, puzzles and mind benders on the market. But these fall short when in comes to challenging students to explore high level mathematics. What they really need is to delve into a math topic in depth and explore the Big Ideas in fun and creative ways. If this is what you are looking for, click on Project M3 on Neag Center for Gifted Education website or go to www.projectm3.org. Click on Meeting the Needs of Talented Math Students to find out more about this topic and our exciting new Javits grant project, Mentoring Mathematical Minds.
