Abstract

What role do competitions play in a mathematics programme for our students, especially our gifted and talented students? This question is examined from the perspectives of fifteen students (10-13 year olds) identified by their schools as mathematically gifted and talented, their teachers, and their parents. Students participated in variety of different types of mathematics competitions – local, national, and international. There was differential access to the competitions and differing perspectives; students and parents shared similar views about the value of competitions, but there was a difference of opinion among the teachers.
