Denna studie består av en analys av den forskning som berör särskild begåvning i mate-matik och hur man stimulerar elever som är särskilt begåvade. Analysen består i största del av en kartläggning och fördjupas sedan genom att redogöra för ett par identifierade teman. Re-sultatet visar att organisatorisk och pedagogisk differentiering är något som gynnar särskilt begåvade elever i matematik. Diskussionen går in på om resultatet är något som enbart kan appliceras på fenomenet särskild begåvning i synnerhet eller alla elever generellt. / This study consists of an analysis of relevant research within the subject, research about mathematically gifted students and how to stimulate these students. The analysis is partly a mapping of the subject and partly a deeper identification of some themes. The result shows that cluster grouping is something that helps stimulate mathematically gifted students. Teacher´s knowledge and commitment to the students is also of great matter to the teaching. The discussion dispute if the result is only applicable to gifted students or students in general.

We evaluated the effects of one year of schoolwide cluster grouping on the academic achievement growth of gifted and non-identified elementary students using a piecewise multilevel growth model. Scores from 186 non-identified and 68 gifted students' Measures of Academic Progress Reading and Math scores were examined over three school years. In 2008-2009 within-class ability grouping was used. In 2009-2010 schoolwide cluster grouping was implemented. In 2010-2011 students once again were grouped only within classrooms by ability and students identified as gifted were spread across all classrooms at each grade level. Results suggest that schoolwide cluster grouping influenced student performance in the year following its implementation, but only for mathematics and not the area of reading.
