THEORETICAL AND PRACTICAL ASPECTS OF WORKING WITH GIFTED CHILDREN IN MATHEMATICS LESSONS IN 5TH-9TH GRADE INNOVATIVE EDUCATIONAL INSTITUTIONS

Abstract

In February 2010, Russian President Vladimir Putin approved the National Educational Initiative “Our New School,” which aims to create an extensive system for identifying, supporting, and accompanying gifted children. The primary goal of both traditional schools and innovative educational institutions is to identify talented and gifted children, create a creative environment for their self-expression, and teach them to find innovative solutions, be proactive, think creatively, and become active learners. Graduates with these skills will be able to thrive in a high-tech and competitive world. Gifted children are the future of Russia. They will ensure the modernization of the economy and the innovative development of Russia. The article reveals the theoretical and practical aspects of organizing work with gifted children in mathematics classes in grades 5-9, using the example of training students at R. Gamzatov Dagestan State Pedagogical University, at the Institute of Physics, Mathematics, and Information Technology Education (IFMiITO) and working with students at the “Sahab” Gymnasium in Makhachakala.
