- Summarize the below passage by including the setting or environment, content or subject, lesson or activity, and the organization of students or groups. Entitled "Stock Up," this math class focuses on fraction and decimal concepts through a stock market simulation. The class features 19 gifted 6th graders from 8 schools, nine 11-year-olds, and ten 12-year-olds. All are native English speakers of high to low middle-class status and are state-identified as academically gifted. With no designated curriculum, I create and acquire my units and resources using gifted standards. I use "systems" and "relationships" concepts to teach accelerated math standards. I accommodate my students' exceptionalities through adequate challenges and higher-level thinking. Inquiry and social learning contexts are used to foster problem-solving skills, higher-order thinking, and student responsibility. Timid learners are often inhibited by low esteem and anxiety, engaged through individual work and small…arrow_forwardGive what is ask in each number.arrow_forwardOut of the 550 employees who were sent the company’s annual satisfaction survey, only 526 responded.
