This
volume has been put together in response to massive
and continuing demand for resources for able and talented
children. A treasury of stimulating and challenging
activities is provided, which can be used in a range
of situations both within and beyond normal classroom
lessons - differentiated homework, summer schools, cluster
activities, clubs, societies and competitions, for example
- to provide excitement and enrichment for more able
children of all ages.
These activities are all photocopiable
and each is accompanied by comprehensive solutions and
notes for teachers. The resources are divided into several
themes, though this should not limit the areas of learning
in which they can be used:
- English and literacy
- Mathematics and numeracy
- Science
- Humanities, citizenship, problem
solving, decision making and information processing
- Modern foreign languages
- Young children
- Logical thought
- Detective work and codes
- Lateral thinking
- Competitions.
