Answer:

This example best illustrates a strategy in the education of gifted children called "Acceleration"

Step-by-step explanation:

Gifted students reason and perform at higher levels than their age-mates.

As such, there may be a need to match such a student's capabilities with more advanced educational content that suits his/her reasoning level. The process of doing this is known as "acceleration".

During acceleration, a gifted child could be made to skip grades, or remain in a grade while taking subjects for advanced grades.
