The current study revealed the effectiveness of the proposed teaching method, "The Creative Bird," on students' achievement and acquisition of giftedness concepts according to the Renzulli Scale. Six teachers were trained in creative teaching methods, and two of them were then selected to teach two classes of sixth-grade students at the school. One of them taught the experimental group after being trained in the "Creative Bird" method. The other teacher taught the control group using traditional methods, without being exposed to the "Creative Bird" method. Three weeks later, both groups underwent an achievement test. The results, after analysis, indicated statistically significant differences in favor of the experimental group. The Renzulli Giftedness Scale was administered to both groups to measure four traits: creativity, leadership, motivation, and learning. The results indicated that the experimental group outperformed the control group in all four giftedness traits. The researcher used four tools: a scale to verify judges' agreement with the "Creative Bird" method, a scale to verify judges' agreement with its five rules, an achievement test in mathematical concepts, and the Renzulli Giftedness Scale. The study concluded with a set of recommendations for teachers, those responsible for training and qualifying them, and for researchers.
