| Abstract | Students in Hong Kong have been consistently performing well in international comparative studies of mathematics achievement such as the Trend International Mathematics and Science Study (TIMSS) (Beaton et al, 1996; Mullis et al, 1997; Mullis et al, 2000) and the OECD Program for International Student Assessment (PISA) (OECD, 2001; 2003). This research intended to study the mathematically gifted and talented senior primary school students in Hong Kong and to investigate their performances in Mathematical Olympiad. Top-performing students were chosen for interview and they are required to generate explicit principle-based explanations on their answers. It was found that most of the gifted and talented students in Hong Kong solved the mathematical Olympiad problems using conceptual knowledge, while a few of them adopted procedural knowledge. |
