Hi Everyone,

Almost every book or web page on gifted kids mentions telescoping -- compressing 2+ years of a subject into a shorter time span. Really, I think that is what my DS7 needs -- grade 5 and 6 math in one year.

Is this one of those things that sounds great, but is unworkable in practice? I've read about a classes that offer an accelerated curriculum but not telescoping as an accommodation for individual students. I'd love to read some "how-to's" or first hand descriptions of successful telescoping.

Has anyone had any experiences with telescoping? I'm particularly interested in the elementary math telescoping that doesn't involve computer-based curricula.

Ul.H.
