I tutor a gifted fifth grade boy. Using your Math Curiosities was a great way to offer interesting material.

My favorite and most-eye opening conversation with my middle school students came from your What Does 'Smart' Even Mean? series. It sparked the most honest, enlightening conversations.

Hello! I'm Ian Byrd. I've been writing about education since 2009. I grew up as a gifted student, taught gifted students, spoke at dozens of conferences, and led professional development around the US. Now, I take work off of teachers' plates by developing video lessons that they can just use. Check it out at Byrdseed.TV.
