Young Students' Readiness for Advanced Math: Precocious Abstract Reasoning.

Ablard, Karen E.; Tissot, Sherri L.

Journal for the Education of the Gifted, v21 n2 p206-23 Win 1998

This study examined above-grade-level abstract reasoning abilities of 150 students (grades 2-6). Understanding of abstract concepts varied by age for only four of eight subscales or concepts: probability, proportion, momentum, and frames of reference. Performance varied widely within age level for the understanding of volume, correlation, combination, and mechanics. (Author/DB)
