“…Among these models, we mention Gagné's Differentiated Model of Giftedness (Gagné, 2005), Renzulli's tripartite model (Renzulli, 1988), and Ziegler's Actiotope Model of Giftedness (Ziegler, 2005). In line with some researchers in mathematical giftedness (e.g., Leikin, 2011;Szabo, 2015) and for the purpose of our study, we will focus on explaining the characteristics of mathematically gifted individuals from a conceptual perspective. The domain specificity of mathematical giftedness always implies a collection of certain mathematical abilities and personal qualities.…”

Frontiers is more than just an open access publisher of scholarly articles: it is a pioneering approach to the world of academia, radically improving the way scholarly research is managed. The grand vision of Frontiers is a world where all people have an equal opportunity to seek, share and generate knowledge. Frontiers provides immediate and permanent online open access to all its publications, but this alone is not enough to realize our grand goals. Frontiers journal seriesThe Frontiers journal series is a multi-tier and interdisciplinary set of openaccess, online journals, promising a paradigm shift from the current review, selection and dissemination processes in academic publishing. All Frontiers journals are driven by researchers for researchers; therefore, they constitute a service to the scholarly community. At the same time, the Frontiers journal series operates on a revolutionary invention, the tiered publishing system, initially addressing specific communities of scholars, and gradually climbing up to broader public understanding, thus serving the interests of the lay society, too. Dedication to qualityEach Frontiers article is a landmark of the highest quality, thanks to genuinely collaborative interactions between authors and review editors, who include some of the world's best academicians. Research must be certified by peers before entering a stream of knowledge that may eventually reach the public -and shape society; therefore, Frontiers only applies the most rigorous and unbiased reviews. Frontiers revolutionizes research publishing by freely delivering the most outstanding research, evaluated with no bias from both the academic and social point of view. By applying the most advanced information technologies, Frontiers is catapulting scholarly publishing into a new generation. What are Frontiers Research Topics?Frontiers Research Topics are very popular trademarks of the Frontiers journals series: they are collections of at least ten articles, all centered on a particular subject. With their unique mix of varied contributions from Original Research to Review Articles, Frontiers Research Topics unify the most influential researchers, the latest key findings and historical advances in a hot research area.

“…Mathematical giftedness is an ambiguous concept, and there is no consensus regarding its definition. A student who does well in mathematics is not necessarily gifted; on the other hand, a mathematically gifted student does not necessarily achieve high results in mathematics [16,17]. Mathematical giftedness generally refers to a high ability in mathematics, and the concepts of giftedness, high ability, and high achievement are often used interchangeably [3].…”

Top Achievers in Mathematics in the End of Upper Secondary School

et al. 2023

Important questions regarding mathematical giftedness are how and when it is possible to identify. To be identified as gifted, the student must have natural potential but also an appropriate mix of motivation, support, and challenges. This study is based on longitudinal data following students from 3rd grade in primary school to the end of upper secondary school between 2005 and 2015. We focus on top achievers (<2% of age cohort) of the national mathematics final exam at the end of upper secondary school. We investigate how accurately top achievers at the end of secondary school can be identified in 3rd, 6th, and 9th grades using national tests. We identify mathematical tasks that predict future top achievement and analyze how attitudes, gender, and parental background factors relate to high proficiency. Most top achievers had already been identified by 3rd grade and almost all of them by 9th grade. However, recognizing future top achievers was not very accurate, as they were indistinguishable from many students whose performance did not reach the same level over time. The best predictor for future top achievement was a student’s ability to solve non-routine and atypical tasks in early school years.

“…Furthermore, Mathematical problem solving is currently regarded as an essential component of mathematics, mathematics teaching, and mathematics learning [3]. Rather than relying on recollections of previously solved problems, tasks including problem solving are meant to show the level of mathematical ability needed to complete them [4]. Furthermore, after producing sufficient data about the issue domain to comprehend the challenge, the problem solution procedure starts [5].…”

This research purposes to represent the validity, effectiveness and practicality of student worksheets according to the realistic mathematics learning approach and to build students' self-efficacy and potential for solving mathematical problems. The Tessmer model is employed in the research development model. The topics covered in this research were eighth grade students of SMP Gajah Mada Medan. The results showed that: 1) Worksheets for students that were created using a realistic mathematical method to enhance their problem-solving skills and self-efficacy satisfied valid, practical and effective; 2) An upsurge in the N-gain value from 0.35 in trial I to 0.39 in trial II indicates an improvement in problem solving skills achieved by the use of worksheets designed using a realistic mathematics learning procedure and then 3) Trial I's N-gain value of 0.31 indicates that students' self-efficacy has improved through developed realistic mathematics instruction; in trial II, this value increases to 0.40.
