My son in Year 1 is working several years ahead in maths and I have previously been told he is gifted.
During parents evening his teacher said that his strength is the way he learns quickly and retains information. However, she is surprised that she has to teach him everything he knows in maths and she is finding some surprising gaps in his knowledge which she assumed he already knew.
My question is whether you would you expect a child who is gifted to self-teach himself maths? Seems a bit odd to me.
