Based on the academic characteristics of mathematics and a learner-centered educational philosophy, they research and develop the best and most optimal math curricula and content to strengthen learners' 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 published series '1031' Math & Science Series, '1031 Gifted Aptitude Test,' the 'Advanced Math 960' series, the 'Advanced Clever Math' series, the 'Thinking Preschool Math' series, the 'Advanced Math TenTen: Exploration and Problem Solving' series, the 'Thinking Math 1031' series, and various multimedia math content, they continue to lead the way in math education. A New Concept Gifted Thinking Math Workbook Keeping Pace with the Latest Educational Trends STEAM (convergence) education and storytelling-based education have emerged as important educational approaches for helping students discover new problems and solve them in new ways. 'Gifted Thinking Math 1031' includes numerous integrated problems combining math with science, sports, music, art, film, and storytelling, helping students view the mathematical principles and challenges of everyday life through integrated, diverse thinking, and building the ability to creatively solve problems. Thorough Analysis of 15 Years of Gifted Education Center and Competition Exam Questions Questions from gifted education center admissions and math competitions from 1998 to the present have been thoroughly analyzed and reflected in this book. It is an essential core resource for students preparing for gifted education programs and competitions. Customized Learning Through Step-by-Step, Topic-Based Organization The series is organized into Intro, Beginner, Intermediate, Advanced, and D levels, designed as a spiral curriculum that builds progressively. Each book covers two topic areas, allowing students to choose the appropriate level and topic based on their own ability. 240 Varied Problem Types with Clear Solving Strategies A total of 120 topics are categorized into 24 problem types, developing students' ability to interpret problems mathematically in a variety of situations. The 'How to Think' and 'Step' sections provide guidance for designing solution processes, greatly contributing to the development of self-directed problem-solving skills. A Workbook That Builds Intuitive Concept Formation Logic is used to prove something, but intuition is what's needed to discover or invent something new. Traditional math education presents concepts first and then shows how to solve problems logically — but this approach can make it difficult to motivate or interest students. 'Gifted Thinking Math 1031' presents topics fused with other subjects through storytelling, then encourages students to try solving problems on their own first through the 'Try It First' section — before being given any instruction that might limit their thinking — to spark genuine motivation and interest and help them form concepts intuitively.
