A Volume in The Montana Mathematics Enthusiast: Monograph Series in
Mathematics Education Series Editor Bharath Sriraman, The
University of Montana Our innovative spirit and creativity lies
beneath the comforts and security of today's technologically
evolved society. Scientists, inventors, investors, artists and
leaders play a vital role in the advancement and transmission of
knowledge. Mathematics, in particular, plays a central role in
numerous professions and has historically served as the gatekeeper
to numerous other areas of study, particularly the hard sciences,
engineering and business. Mathematics is also a major component in
standardized tests in the U.S., and in university entrance exams in
numerous parts of world. Creativity and imagination is often
evident when young children begin to develop numeric and spatial
concepts, and explore mathematical tasks that capture their
interest. Creativity is also an essential ingredient in the work of
professional mathematicians.Yet, the bulk of mathematical thinking
encouraged in the institutionalized setting of schools is focused
on rote learning, memorization, and the mastery of numerous skills
to solve specific problems prescribed by the curricula or aimed at
standardized testing. Given the lack of research based perspectives
on talent development in mathematics education, this monograph is
specifically focused on contributions towards the constructs of
creativity and giftedness in mathematics. This monograph presents
new perspectives for talent development in the mathematics
classroom and gives insights into the psychology of creativity and
giftedness. The book is aimed at classroom teachers, coordinators
of gifted programs, math contest coaches, graduate students and
researchers interested in creativity, giftedness, and talent
development in mathematics.
