If you are the teacher (or even the parent) of a gifted and talented
child, you'll understand the challenges involved in providing the mental
stimulation they require. Brilliant Activities for Stretching Gifted
and Talented Children by Ashley McCabe Mowat will help you to meet
these challenges.
Brilliant Activities for Stretching Gifted and Talented Children
provides activities to challenge the more able Key Stage 2 (KS2) child
and develop their analytical, creative and evaluative skills. Activities
range from quick warm-ups, brainteasers and whole class activities to
maths focussed problems and open-ended challenges for pupils to work on
independently.
Brilliant Activities for Stretching Gifted and Talented Children by
Ashley McCabe Mowat provides open-ended mental activities to stimulate
gifted and talented primary school children.
All the worksheets are photocopiable and require minimal preparation, so
that you can easily select the best activity to suit your particular
needs. With over 100 activities, Brilliant Activities for Stretching
Gifted and Talented Children will be able to keep stretching your
pupils for many years to come.
While written mainly for more able pupils, all children will love these
fun activities, which are based on Bloom's Taxonomy, the Torrance Tests
of Creative Thinking and other research. Challenge pupils and help them
to develop their imaginations and creative thinking skills with
activities such as writing a cookbook for alligators or thinking about
how life would be different if we had six fingers on each hand.
