Although many educators emphasize the importance of education for gifted students. we still don't know much about how to teach or guide them effectively. Especially for the gifted students within a certain subject area such as mathematics, the situation is more serious. One possible reason for such a situation is that we have rare opportunity to contact mathematically gifted students. In fact, discriminating one's gift in mathematics itself is a very complicated process. It may take a little long time to observe and distinguish one's mathematical behavior to be superior innately. Sometimes, actual processes of teaching mathematics may be necessary to discover one's innate superiority in mathematics.
In Korea, several science high schools established for the gifted students who wish to be scientists. Because groups of gifted students are already gathered in those science high schools. one may think that there is little difficulty for researchers to study on the way of teaching mathematics to gifted students. It would be better, however. for researchers and educators if we have some program to help the mathematically gifted students earlier than when they enter high schools.
The Gifted Education Institute of Korea WEIK) has been conducting a special program. Mathematics Acceleration Project (MAP) for mathematically gifted students since 1987. The purpose of this study was to diagnose the project to detect substantial problems in it. This study also intended to suggest alternative ways of supporting the mathematically gifted children.
