Grounded in the academic nature of mathematics and a learner-centered educational philosophy, the institute researches and develops the best, most optimal math curricula and content to strengthen students' mathematical thinking skills. Having popularized the concept of "thinking math" through programs such as CMATH and AP Math, as well as the gifted program Gifted, the institute continues to lead the field of math education through its published series — the 1031 Math & Science series, the 1031 Gifted Aptitude Test, the Advanced Math 960 series, the Advanced Clever Math series, the Thinking Preschool Math series, the Advanced Math TenTen: Exploring and Solving Problems series, the Thinking Math 1031 series, and a variety of multimedia math content. A Fresh, Innovative Gifted Thinking-Math Workbook for Today's Education Trends STEAM (integrated) education and storytelling-based education have emerged as key educational approaches for helping students discover new problems and solve them in new ways. Gifted Thinking Math 1031 includes numerous integrated problems that combine math with science, sports, music, art, film, and storytelling, helping students approach the mathematical principles and challenges found in everyday situations with broad, integrated thinking — and in turn, developing the ability to solve problems more creatively. Thorough Analysis of 15 Years of Gifted Program and Competition Questions This workbook thoroughly analyzes and incorporates questions from gifted education center admissions tests and math competitions dating back to 1998. It is an essential foundational resource for students preparing for gifted programs and competitions. Customized Learning Through Step-by-Step, Topic-Based Structure The series is organized into five levels — Intro, Beginner, Intermediate, Advanced, and D — designed as a spiral curriculum where concepts build progressively. Each volume covers two topic areas, allowing students to choose the level and topic best suited to their needs. 240 Problem Types and Clear Problem-Solving Strategies With a total of 120 topics categorized into 24 problem types, this workbook builds students' ability to interpret and solve problems mathematically in a wide variety of situations. "Ways to Think" and "Step" guides support students in designing their own solution processes, greatly contributing to the development of self-directed problem-solving skills. A Workbook That Builds Intuitive Understanding of Concepts Logic is used to prove something, but intuition is what's needed to discover or invent something new. Traditional math education tends to present a concept first, then show students how to solve problems logically — an approach that often fails to spark motivation or interest. Gifted Thinking Math 1031 first presents cross-subject material through storytelling, then encourages students to try solving problems on their own in the "Try It First" section — before any instruction limits their thinking — sparking genuine motivation and interest while helping them build an intuitive understanding of concepts.
