The study reported in this paper is intended to highlight some factors which may contribute to the fulfillment of mathematical talent with special reference to pupils aged 10–11 within inner-city schools. The findings are based on the authors' experience of setting up and evaluating a Mathematics Enrichment Programme (MEP) over a period of 2 years. The context of this study, funded by the Department of Education and Skills within the Excellence in Cities initiative, is the on-going efforts of the British government to identify gifted pupils and make effective provision for them. The findings reported in this study draw on the data collected over the 2-year period through the involvement of 11 Local Education Authorities within inner-city areas. A number of components, which may enhance provision for mathematically talented pupils, are identified and should have significance for a wider audience. The terms ‘mathematically promising’, ‘gifted’ and ‘able’ are used interchangeably to refer to children who demonstrate a special aptitude for mathematics. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
