Working with mathematically gifted students

Abstract

Working with gifted students is of special social interest. However, in the existing secondary education curricula, it is only declaratively mentioned and this important segment of the education system is completely neglected. That is why in this paper an attempt was made to develop a program for work with mathematically gifted students aged 17–18, that is, for the third year of secondary education, using the concentric circle method. This study uses a descriptive method and gives examples of contents for the curriculum for working with gifted students. Curriculum materials were prepared using the method of concentric circles, which means that some contents adopted in previous years at a certain level are extended and expanded. The study draws from resources from previous researchers and existing literature. Keywords: Concentric circle; curricula; gifted students; mathematics.
