I can't guarantee my thoughts are all up to dates, may provide some directions for your kid.

You need to consider the following factors:

1. Language proficiency of the kid and you as parents - English;
2. Your Maths standard - High school, graduates, major in science, engineering or maths;
3. Your time commitment;
4. Your expectations;
5. Financial resources;
6. Local acceptance of the program(s), secondary school and university;
7. Overseas exposures;
8. Interaction with smart kids; and
9. Classified as maths gifted by taking recognised tests

11 years back, I considered the following options:

A. Using MENSA exercise book from USA to challenge him - it's fun, but I need time to go through with him, very cost effective, no certificate, no interactions....

B. Using 2+ advance text books and or workbook to guide him through the progress....

C. Take EPGY (Stanford) or CTY (John Hopkins) on-line Maths program(s) - recognised internationally, more expensive cf local program like MO

D. Take Maths program from local universities which targeted gifted kids, like CUHK, HKUST...... recongised locally, cost effective

E. Take International Gifted Maths Exam, like World Class Arena or Talent Search of EPGY etc. which provide another route for overseas summer programs .... recognised internationally

F. Overseas Gifted Summer Programs - EPGY Summer School, Imperial College summer programs.... expensive, but I will say value for money if the kid and you know where to go.... good cultural mix and exposure, excellent credit for university admission

G. Joint Gifted Summer Programs - like the joint program between HKUST and John Hopkins every summer in HK; CUHK,BU and HKPU also provide gifted programs in summer, some programs related to Maths; good interactions with smart kids....reciognised by the university provided that program...

H. Maths Olympaid also another option, recognised locally and not sure internationally, for medalists may be recognised (KHUST recognised Gold medalists and offer Entrance Scholarship)

I. PLK Primary School Maths Competition, through the competition,they shortlisted students for training and enrolled into HK teams for International maths competition....

*** Some parents will put Kumon as gifted program, I will classify it as drilling exercises for mediocre students. Tell me, which local university recognised it. ***

Other more knowledgeable parents add on more info......

謝謝

小兒亦是對數學很有興趣(但沒天份),他在P1(7 years old)就參加奥數班,這是一個不錯的選擇。

ANCHAN 59真是好在行！
我仔未足七歲，上網check了些資料，又恐拔苗助長，所以summer 開始買了math Olympiad 的exercise book給他try, not bad!

When I know my son was gifted in Maths, I searched around locally and intentionally. I just summarised what I learnt in the process and it's my pleasure to share with you all.

I always remembered what a sister in Christ said "Gifted kid is a gift from our Lord." ........

講真，怎樣天份都離唔開 99% 要努力，所意要『自發』出濃厚興趣，所謂對住乜野都想餐飽。

十居其九的數學大學生，都很喜歡遊戲棋，例如『數學遊戲書』及世界各地的『桌遊戲』。

去到高中，天才要計唔係數，係要推論呢條數點樣走出來，除時計兩日一夜，咁樣就有機會入超名大學。

小三生計到中四數大有人在，但係中二生要計條數老師都唔明，咁先係『數學優才生』。

Dear ANChan 59

You are an expert. How can you find out your son is maths gifted in the first place and how old was he at that time. My son is very interested in maths, I teach him myself, he is now 8, he can now handle P 6 maths but weak at geometry. Not sure he is gifted or not. As he really got passsion for maths, I want to further explore his potential and maintin his learning momentum. Can I have your advice.

Thanks

I am not an expert in gifted education, but a father forced to DIY in HK.

I shared some background in a post as listed below:
