A study investigated the relationship between what teachers reported they do in their elementary (n=91) and middle school (n=64) classrooms and students' perceptions of classroom activities. Magnet school gifted students reported significantly more challenge than their gifted and other peers at the middle school level, whereas no such differences existed at the elementary level.
