Master’s degree, titled Mathematical Problem Solving Strategies among Year 5 GiftedudStudents of the Primary School composes of theoretical and empirical part. In theudtheoretical part gifted students are presented through different authors, how they areudrecognised and characterised. Mathematically gifted students were discussed in furtheruddetail and mathematical problems were introduced, broken into several types, anduddifferent solving strategies were discussed. In the empirical part, through the analysis ofudthree different mathematical problems, solved by both mathematically gifted and nongiftedudstudents, who have excellent grade in mathematics, we concluded that there was noudbig difference between the groups, although gifted students tended to be more successfuludat solving presented problems. With analysis of questionnaire we concluded that solvingudmathematical problems seems interesting and fun (for majority) of gifted and non-giftedudstudents; although both groups considered the problems challenging. Presentedudconclusions are presented with contextual analysis and are furthermore supported byudgraphical material and with actual students examples.
