Parents' Observations of Kindergartners Who Are Advanced in Mathematical Reasoning.
Pletan, Michael D.; And Others
Journal for the Education of the Gifted, v19 n1 p30-44 Fall 1995
Questionnaires were completed by 100 parents of kindergarten-age children whom the parents thought to be mathematically precocious. Five factors were found to characterize responses: (1) general intellectual factor; (2) short- and long-term memory; (3) rote memory; (4) spatial reasoning; and (5) specific relational knowledge. Parents were able to identify mathematical giftedness and describe mathematical behavior coherently. (Author/DB)
