Extractions: Pupils show their special talents in mathematics in a range of ways and at varying points in their development. Pupils who are gifted in mathematics are likely to: learn and understand mathematical ideas quickly; work systematically and accurately; be more analytical; think logically and see mathematical relationships; make connections between the concepts they have learned; identify patterns easily; apply their knowledge to new or unfamiliar contexts; communicate their reasoning and justify their methods; ask questions that show clear understanding of, and curiosity about, mathematics; take a creative approach to solving mathematical problems; sustain their concentration throughout longer tasks and persist in seeking solutions; be more adept at posing their own questions and pursuing lines of enquiry. Some pupils who are gifted in mathematics perform at levels that are unusually advanced for their age. For example, a seven-year-old may work confidently with the mathematics described at level 3 in the national curriculum and begin to work successfully with concepts described at level 4. Other pupils with exceptional mathematical potential may not demonstrate it in this way. For example, pupils may have high levels of mathematical reasoning but be unable to communicate their ideas well orally or in writing. Sometimes gifted pupils reject obvious methods and answers as too easy, and opt for something more obscure. In these cases, formal testing alone is insufficient as a basis for identification. It is often helpful for teachers to provide enrichment and extension activities and to observe pupil responses to challenging activities.
