Santos, S., & Barmby, P. (2010). Enrichment and engagement in mathematics. In Proceedings of the British Congress for Mathematics Education (Vol. 30, No. 1, pp. 199-206).
Santos & Barmby examine the belief of engagement and enrichment in mathematics faculty. The researchers examined students in the Royal Institution of Great Britain to facilitate mathematics learning, in which teachers and students' Masterclasses project participated in the QCA project. Santos & Barmby show that behavioral and emotional components determine people's attitudes that influence their behavior towards engagement in mathematics. However, learners need to have a third component, which is cognitive, to engage fully in mathematics. With the help of three components, students could take part in thinking, developing their knowledge, and understanding the subject. Therefore, mathematics becomes enjoyable to students possessing the above three components.[Santos, S., & Barmby, P. (2010). Enrichment and engagement in mathematics.

Piggott highlights the scaffolding for enrichment, characteristics, and relationships related to mathematical thinking, solutions to math problems, and enrichment. Besides, the author also focuses on good mathematics problems that students and their facilitators could easily handle. The framework develops existing poorly framed perceptions to a more coherent form related to the term mathematics enrichment. According to this article, enrichment is inclusive rather than being an exclusive occurrence. Piggott shows that learners should have an enriching ordeal when learning mathematics. Problem-solving is a primary activity within enrichment that help in mathematical thinking to formulate students’ ideas and thoughts. Lastly, a good problem should support a clear purpose when choosing a problem-solving method to encourage learners to participate in the problem-solving activity.[Piggott, J. S. (2007).

Reis et al. believe that gifted education is a true laboratory related to developing creative teaching approaches. Trained teachers could use an innovative teaching pedagogy that is more engaging with more benefits to students. For example, the teachers could use advanced vocabulary and authentic paradigms to enhance better understanding of the learners. Similarly, according to Piggott, teachers should use developing surveys, creative thinking, and problem-solving strategies to give students a diverse understanding of curriculum enrichment. Enrichment experiences are a construct of students due to their in...
