Publisher's Synopsis
Although there have been advances in studies on high abilities, much still needs to be done in relation to educational aspects, in terms of identifying, understanding and caring for them. As there is a diversity of areas of development of high abilities, this research emphasizes high abilities in the academic area, specifically Mathematics. This study was carried out with the aim of providing support to help teachers enrich mathematical activities for mathematically skilled students in the Multifunctional Resource Room for High Ability/Gifted Students. Specifically, the aim was to get to know the mathematical abilities of these students; to reflect on the pedagogical practices in Mathematics adopted in the classes of the resource room for high abilities; and, to propose the enrichment of mathematical activity by developing the project called "Probability and the construction of games for a tournament", which is the educational object of this research. This research adopted a qualitative approach and is a case study.
