This question is for those of you who have mathematicaly gifted kids and want to nurture that gift. What do you do? Do you make them take more math, do you challenge them more, do you make them practice math daily?
My son is very gifted in math. I think this giftedness comes from desire to understand the problem as deeply as possible. We are lucky that his current school is able to accomodate him as far as learning math goes. But what do you think should parents do? I am asking, because, when you have a talented musician you have them practice daily ( I know that because my son has to play violin for one hour each day, and soon it will be more than that - see I automatically wrote "has to") and for some reason we do not question that. We all have this understanding that in music you have to practice in order to become better. But what to do when it comes to math? Do you make them solve problems for one hour each day? What if they would rather read a book or play?
After all he is only 11. Anyone in that position?
