Abstract

This paper reports on student, parent, and teacher perspectives of the characteristics of the mathematically gifted. The data are extracted from a two-year qualitative study that examined multiple perspectives, school policy documents and program provision for 15 mathematically gifted and talented students aged from 10 to 13 years. The findings have implications for identification and program provision.
