The activities are ideal for risk taking and motivate gifted learners to try newer and bigger challenges. Lessons on estimation, geometry, Gestalt problem solving, using graphs and diagrams, pattern recognition in data, and other skills related to advanced problem solving are included.

This book includes 30 lessons for each grade level. Also included in the book is a comprehensive teacher's guide with teaching tips and ideas.
