Peer reviewedWhittaker, Dora – Mathematics in School, 1974
Mathematical investigations pursued by two gifted students are presented. One is written by a boy age 9 with his follow-up at 11; he studied patterns to derive the factors for the difference of two squares. Another boy of 11 discovered formulas for slopes of tangent lines and areas under curves. (LS)
