This is a Power point content which talks about the Giftedness and Slow learners in Mathematics and tips and strategies to deal with those students, Remedial and enrichment programs for them. It also contains few examples of gifted personalities and analogy of learners with mobile phones

1. Do we all use
Same mobile?
Say your answer in the link given below

2. We(learners) are also different like mobiles
We have different RAM (some are good at
application) ,ROM(Some are good at
Reading ), We have processor
difference(some processes with high speed)
and charging capacity is different(some
have interest and patience for just few
minutes or hours), Performance is also
different (some perform good at sports
some at Art e.t.c…,) We have no much
difference with mobiles

3. As teachers we have to concentrate on what
that mobile/learner can do and make
them/that utilize it for the maximum extent.
When we say the maximum extent we have
learners with maximum/outstanding
performance & with minimum and
out-standing performance (standing out of
class) In this presentation we will be looking
into theses two groups

4. Gifted
Learners
In
Mathematics

5. “A person showing consistent extraordinary
achievement in a productive field is a
genius/Gifted ~Having Hersit
Usually giftedness is not meant in one
particular field there are different
giftedness like musically gifted, athelitic
giftedness, Mathematicall giftedness, …..,
sometimes there can be multiple giftedness
also(in multiple fields at a time)

6. ★ Solves problems easily
★ Performs computations easily and accurately
★ Avoids extensive calculation
★ Works a long time on challenging problems
★ Works easily with technology
★ Has the ability to translate unfamiliar abstraction into familiar
★ Intuitively solves difficult problems
★ Computes answers in non-traditional manner
★ Ex: Srinivas Ramanujan, Gauss and many others are there
★ Openmindness
Characteristics

7. ★ Frequently impatient with drill and details that he thinks are not
important.
★ May be reading mathematics books years ahead of his age.
★ Recognizes patterns readily and enjoys speculating on generalization.
★ Prefers to think on higher levels of abstraction.
★ Classifies particular cases as special cases of more general situations
with relative case.
★ Follows a long chain of reasoning, frequently anticipating and
contributing.
★ Frequently asks profound questions
Special

8. Identification
Likes to work at abstract
levels and doesnot like
simple work
Intelligent questions in
Class
Alert and actively
participates in teaching
learning process
Quick in Making the
mathematical things
Achievements are
remarkable
Picks up things rapidly and eaisly
Good power of
imagination,
thinking and
reasoining
Able to solve higher
standard problems

9. WHOA!
“We can judge
boiling of rice with
a single grain but
not the behaviour
and personality”

10. Points to be noted
➔ Opinion of subject teachers
➔ Students score in
mathematics aptitude test,
mathematics
achievements test and
intelligence test
➔ Students past
performance in
mathematics
➔ Students score in
inventories like interest in
mathematic. Attitude
towards mathematics
➔ Report of a
properly planned
interview
➔ The opinion of
teachers based
on day-to-day
observation of
child’s behaviour

11. Enrichment
programme for
gifted students
In order to avoid
distraction

12. ➔ An enriched syllabus for
extensive and intensive study
➔ Encouraged to enrich
knowledge
➔ Allowed to do self study
➔ Use Heuristic, analytic,
problem solving, project or
discussion method
➔ Encouraged to participate
Mathematics club activities
➔ Encouraged to use
mathematical facts to solve
day to day problems
➔ Involve Activities like
seminars, exhibitions, models
➔ Works should be duly
appreciated
➔ Special coaching should be
arranged for such students
➔ Make learning fun
➔ Should give freedom
➔ Challenging tasks should be
provided
➔ Don’t single out student
➔ Avoid rote learning

13. Slow
Learners
In
Mathematics

14. IQ
IQ
A student who lags behind other students
In class we call the particular student a slow
learner

15. Identification
Of slow learners ➔ Can’t detect own errors
➔ Not creative in thinking
➔ Observation technique
➔ Case study method
➔ Medical examination
➔ Academic examination
➔ Personality tests
➔ Intelligent tests
➔ Psychological tests
➔ I.Q is below 90
➔ Very little drive
➔ Short span of attention
➔ Weak association of
memory
➔ Poor reader
➔ Difficulty with
abstractions
➔ Not logical in thinking
➔ Low imagination

16. Characteristics of
slow learners
● Limited cognitive capacity
● Low memory
● Lack of concentration
● Problem in language expression
● Difficulty in comprehension
● Lack of confidence spelling
mistakes
● Problem in decision making

17. Causes
● Physical causes
● Lack of interest in subject
● Mental Disability
● Lack of Mathematical ability
● Inappropriate learning
experiences
● Irregular study habits
● Teacher’s indifference
● Ineffective method of teaching
● Practice and Drill
● Family background and
environment
Remedies
● Consulting doctors and physical
exercise
● Proper opportunity and motivation
● Teacher with attitude of affection,
kindness and patience
● Training programs to improve the
skill
● Remedial teaching
● Systematic plan and regular drill
● Boosting up the confidence
● Provide such opportunities which
result meaningful learning
● Providing good guidance and
academic support

18. ★ Sensory learning
★ Daily routine with surprises
★ Frequent change of strategies
★ Spot not for wrong answer
★ Check their work daily and accept as
they do it
★ Never force to work long
★ Make the lesson simple and short
★ Each day testing is better than long
test
★ New ways to review concepts
★ Break question into number of simple
questions
★ Relate with real life examples
★ Avoid confusions
