“…It was found that traditional mathematics education did not create a meaningful difference in children's creativity scores. Chamberlin and Moon (2005) showed that the environment presented to children during problem solution affects their creative thinking positively. Grai (2000) pointed out that children must make use of their creativity in order to be able to solve a problem successfully.…”

Creativity is defined as a totality of processes and a way of attitude and behavior which exists in every child to a different extent. Every child is creative owing to their nature and their perspective on life. Offering children creative environments, especially during early childhood education, affects their mathematical abilities and supports their creative thinking. The aim of this study is to investigate whether children's creativity and mathematical abilities vary with respect to their gender and whether there is a relationship between creativity and mathematical ability. The study population includes six-year-old children attending independent kindergartens affiliated with the Ministry of Education in Ankara city center. The sampling consists of 80 six-year-old children in total, attending Sevgi Kindergarten, which was chosen randomly from among the kindergartens in the population. Data were gathered by using several instruments. These included a "General Information Form" prepared by the researchers to gather information about the children, "Torrance Test of Creative Thinking -Figural Form A" to assess children's creativity, and the "Test of Early Mathematics Ability-3 (TEMA-3)" to assess children's mathematical ability. While t-test was used to determine whether children's creativity and mathematics scores differed with respect to gender, Pearson Product-Moment Correlation Coefficient was used to analyze whether there was a relationship between creativity and mathematical ability. The results showed that children's creativity scores differed significantly with respect to gender, but not their mathematics scores. Also, it has been found that there is no relationship between the creativity and mathematical ability of children.

“…This neglect is likely the case for two reasons. First, while public funding for preschool gifted programs is non-existent and second the wrong view that gifted students do not require special support services because they will flourish under any and all circumstances [42]. Experts in gifted education disagree with this opinion as the early intervention makes a significant difference in a young gifted child's social and intellectual development [42].…”

Abstract-Recent development in new technology has led many teachers, schools and other educators to use it with their students in their learning process. Especially, in the field of special preschool education the role of educational computer games seem significant. In this short review paper we give a brief overview of the most representative articles that concentrate on these games that support preschool children who face literature, math, cognitive, intellectual and physical difficulties. The role of computer educational games in children who are gifted or face developmental disorders (autism) is also explored.

“…Kūrybingumo ugdymas mokymo programose siejamas tik su problemų sprendimu ieškant skirtingų sprendimo būdų (Grassmann et al, 2010). Mokytojai netgi nėra pajėgūs numatyti mokinio matematinės kūrybos gebėjimų, nes mokykloje dažniausiai sprendžiami rutininiai uždaviniai (Chamberlin, Moon, 2005).…”

Straipsnyje mokinių matematinio kūrybingumo raiškos aspektu analizuojamas matematinio samprotavimo gebėjimų ugdymas pradinėse klasėse. Mokinių matematinis kūry-bingumas čia suprantamas kaip sintakse grindžiamo matematinio samprotavimo papildymas semantika, padedančia sukurti netikėtą ir originalų rezultatą, pritaikomą duotoje realioje situacijoje.Matematinio samprotavimo gebėjimų ugdymui taikyta originali tikslingai sukurtų praktinių matematinio tyrinėjimo veiklų sistema, grindžiama principu konkretu-schematiška-abstraktu. Tyrinėjimo užduotys parinktos remiantis matematinių taisyklių loginio pagrindimo pradinių klasių mokiniams modeliu. I-II klasių mokinių klaidų kokybinė ir kiekybinė analizė parodė, kad kontrolinės ir eksperimentinės klasių kontrolinėse užduotyse padarytų klaidų pobūdis ir kiekis skiriasi. Eksperimentinės klasės mokinių atliktose užduotyse rasta mažiau semantikos klaidų. Tai rodo, kad matematinio samprotavimo mokymasis pradinėse klasėse taikant principą konkretu-schematiška-abstraktu sudaro geresnes nei mokykloje įprasta sąlygas matematiniam kūrybingumui pasireikšti.Esminiai žodžiai: matematinis samprotavimas, aktyvus mokymasis, matematinio kūrybin-gumo ugdymas, samprotavimo klaidos, pradinis ugdymas.
