Investopedia explains Gamma
Mathematically, gamma is the first derivative of delta and is used when trying to gauge the price of an option relative to the amount it is in or out of the money.

When the option being measured is deep in or out of the money, gamma is small. When the option is near the money, gamma is largest.
