He will answer whatever question I ask without considering other kids who may have the answer, is hyperactive and won't listen. The other children are disturbed by him. But in exams he does well.How do I take control of him and at the same time not impact his motivation level? Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!) I would tier my students, and give this student work that is above grade level or harder. I would also recommend that the student be tested for gifted, where they can get extra challenges.                 Rating The suggested solution is respectful of the individual (student) Yes The suggested solution is relevant to the case Yes The suggested solution is reasonable (easy) for the teacher to implement Yes The suggested solution is likely to solve the problem/issue Yes The suggested solution is original Yes Comments: I think specifically testing him for gifted is the best solution.
