Foundation sponsors series of lesson plans
The Mensa Foundation has sponsored a series of lesson plans for gifted youth grades
Kindergarten through 12. Since these plans are designed to be completed with minimal supervision,
they serve as independent coursework either in the traditional classroom or outside it. Topics
range from the alphabet to the periodic table of elements,
from Fibonacci numbers to the Seven Wonders of the World. Access them at
www.mensaforkids.org/teachers or through the
Parent/Teacher Resources section of the Mensa for Kids Web site, www.mensaforkids.org.
