Creativity and Giftedness Interdisciplinary perspectives from mathematics and beyond

“By reporting about learners of various ages, the volume offers a substantial possibility for teachers who aim to identify and nurture creativity through mathematical activities. … the volume uncovers aspects of mathematics education that are highly relevant for teacher educators, school principals, and policymakers. … The volume represents a pragmatic and plausible effort with a goal of summarizing principal interdisciplinary perspectives on mathematical creativity and giftedness.” (Attila Szabo, Roeper Review, Vol. 40 (04), 2018)

“This edited collection of 16 chapters paints a broad picture of current research and views on creativity and giftedness through theoretical papers and empirical studies. … This book is a valuable collection of diverse approaches and ideas on creativity, giftedness, and their connection. The narrative structure that emerges from the divergent, diverse, and multidisciplinary views on creativity and giftedness creates a space for further research in this area.” (Nenad Radakovic and Limin Jao, Mathematical Thinking and Learning, Vol. 119 (2), April, 2017)

“This edited volume considers recent research on creativity and giftedness in mathematics education and how these two concepts might be related. … Creativity is not a personal trait of individuals that can be easily recognized, and a number of operational definitions are given by researchers in this volume. … Much can be learned from the chapters in this book … .” (Annie Selden, MAA Reviews, maa.org, April, 2017)
