Working with a gifted student can be both a joy and a frustration. To understand why, we need to be clear about definitions. A gifted student is one whose intelligence - typically described as an IQ score resulting from one or more tests - is 130 or above. That is, giftedness is a measure of innate ability, not performance. The result is a paradox.

 A listing of traits - both positive and negative that gifted students frequently exhibit.
Asks many questions and is very curious Possesses a large amount of information Has a good memory

 Ideas, strategies, and resources you can use to ensure that gifted students use their abilities to the fullest.
Interest and explanation. When our interest is aroused in something, whether it is an academic subject or a hobby, we enjoy working hard at it. Clear goals and intellectual challenge, Effective teachers set high standards for students. They also articulate clear goals.

Asperger

Hearing difficulty
Hearing impairment in children means that they need extra help when learning new words and concepts. Physical objects normally do not pose problems, but abstract concepts such as time, feelings and thoughts are harder to explain for hearing-impaired children.

Hearing difficulty

Body language. Samples. Dont speak while writing on the board. Use lots of pictures and graphic organizers. Repetition is key, as is the use of hands-on activities. Use few word in PowerPoint. Use many examples. Activity.

Example

Rectangle Area = w h w = width h = height

Example
Triangle Area = b h b = base h = vertical height

Example

Square Area = a2 a = length of side

Example

Circle Area = r2 r = radius = 3.14

Differentiated Tasks Students of similar abilities could be allocated tasks to work on in pairs or groups - Work in group - Show physical object Differentiated Texts

Mixed-Ability

Differentiation could also be based on quantity and quality of texts - Different text quality - Different text quantity Differentiated Levels giving weaker students less demanding tasks can help both to motivate them - Different homework level - Different classwork level

Activity

Find is the area of the following Triangle ? 8

Hint : Triangle Area is *base *height
