• The characteristics of mathematical creativity (2015, background): “’’ Recently psychologists have attempted to link creativity to measures of intelligence (Sternberg, 1979, 1985), the ability to abstract and generalize (Sternberg, 1985), and to complex problem-solving abilities (Frensch & Sternberg, 1992). Sternberg and Lubart (2000) define creativity as the abilit”
• The education of mathematically gifted students: Some complexities and questions (2011, background): “…form an almost complete list: Chamberlin & Moon, 2005; Hodge & Kemp, 2006; Hong & Aqui, 2004; Koichu & Berman, 2005; Kwon, Park & Park, 2006; Mann, 2006; Nokelainen, Tirry & Merenti-Valimaki, 2007; Olszewski-Kubilius & Lee, 2004; Reed, 2004; Sriraman, 2003; 2005; Yim, Chong, Song & Kwon, 2008).”
• “Rising to the challenge”: using generalization in pattern problems to unearth the algebraic skills of talented pre-algebra students (2008, background): “However, it can also serve as a means of constructing new knowledge, acting as an initiator for further learning in algebra (Amit and Klass-Tsirulnikov 2005) and probability (Sriraman 2003).”
• Are Giftedness and Creativity Synonyms in Mathematics? (2005, background): “The process of specializing to particular cases, conjecturing, and then generalizing through interpretation and validation is a common trait among mathematically gifted students (Krutetskii, 1976; Sriraman, 2003, 2004d).”
• Characterizations of Social-Based and Self-Based Contexts Associated with Students' Awareness, Evaluation, and Regulation of Their Thinking during Small-Group Mathematical Modeling. (2011, background): “Although defining metacognition and mathematical problem solving has been a challenge, research findings have indicated that good problem-solving ability is associated with high levels of metacognitive activity, and that good problem solvers engage in metacognitive activity throughout various phases”
