Our study aims to develop an operational model for the
identification and fostering of mathematically gifted students at
the regular elementary classroom. It reflects seven years of
experience in teaching of challenging mathematics curriculum to
Kindergarten through Grade 6 children having various levels of
abilities. In our analysis of lessons, we discussed two questions:
How to interpret young children's mathematical work in terms of
mathematical giftedness? and What kind of didactical situations are
favourable in order to foster mathematical abilities? In the search
for efficient inclusive teaching strategies, we developed a
theoretical framework based on the model of the 'challenging
situations approach'. On the basis of classroom observations and
examples of students' solutions of challenging mathematical tasks,
we identified several characteristics of mathematical giftedness,
such as mathematical precocity, thinking in concepts and
relationships, high motivation and perseverance, systemic and
reflective mind, as well as seeing the world with 'mathematical
eyes'. Recommendations for research and practice are also given.
