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.
