{"product_id":"challenging-units-for-gifted-learners","title":"Challenging Units for Gifted Learners","description":"Gifted students have the potential to learn material earlier and faster, to handle more complexity and abstraction, and to solve complex problems better. This potential, however, needs stimulating experiences from home and school or it will not unfold. These books are designed to help teachers provide the stimulating curricula that will nurture this potential in school. The units presented in this series are based on research into how these students actually think differently from their peers and how they use their learning styles and potential not merely to develop intellectual expertise, but to move beyond expertise to the production of new ideas.\n\nThe Math book includes units that ask students to develop a financial portfolio that includes high- and low-risk stocks, options and margins, AAA and junk bonds, mutual funds, and money markets; use math, science, engineering, technology, and art to design and build a miniature golf course; develop games based on probability; and run a real-life small business.\n\nGrades 6-8\u003cbr\u003eASIN: 1593634978\u003cbr\u003eVSKU: DBV.1593634978.G\u003cbr\u003eCondition: Good\u003cbr\u003eAuthor\/Artist:Kenneth J.
