Description
Research shows that thousands of hours of meaningful practice are the key to excellence in mathematics. Because of this, children who are talented in mathematics must not only progress through their curriculum at the proper pace, but they must also be exposed to material that inspires and nurtures their gift.
A failure to find mathematics challenging, interesting, or relevant are significant factors when students lose interest in mathematics. Children who are talented in mathematics must be exposed to material that lights a fire and fuels their gift. This session will give valuable information to help you foster your students’ passion for mathematics.
In this 1-hour course, you will learn:
- How to nurture a passion for math
- Important uses for mathematics in real life
- How to create intriguing worksheets
- Famous math mistakes
- The importance of decimals
- Problem-solving techniques
- Engaging strategies for teaching math to gifted students

Brandon – BEXLEY CITY (verified owner) –
A rambling and disconnected series of anecdotes interrupted by mildly interesting math brain teasers. It spent the entire time trying to convince me of an idea I was clearly on board with by signing up for the session, rather than actually providing much in the way of actionable advice for updating existing lessons (save one comment about a worksheet facelift). The gist of the session is “if you want math to be interesting, you should have taught science.”
