Abstract

This topic deals with the problem of providing for the superior pupil in the field of arithmetic. Sometimes this pupil is designated as the fast learner, the gifted pupil, or by some other descriptive phrase. The title of this paper makes it comparatively easy to identify the pupils whose achievement in arithmetic is s ignificant. McWilliams and Brown1 recommended that superior pupils should be considered those in the upper 20 percent in general intelligence whose abilities lend themselves readily to intellectual pursuits. We shall not attempt to designate a fixed per cent of a class as belonging to the group which excels in arithmetic. Those students who understand the work and develop insight into the subject constitute the group who need some modification of the program which is designed for the average or below average in achievement in this subject. The problem is how to provide enrichment for the pupil who shows superiority in the field of arithmetic.
