Needs of gifted and creative children can be addressed by

Gifted and creative children require enriched, challenging tasks to remain engaged and prevent boredom that arises from routine work. Convergent thinking questions (with single correct answers) limit creativity; divergent thinking is more appropriate. Specific step-by-step instructions stifle creative problem-solving. Memory-based tests do not tap into higher-order thinking or creativity. Challenging, open-ended tasks best meet the needs of gifted learners.
