Gender Differences in Mathematical Achievement at the Norwegian Elementary-School Level.
Manger, Terje
Scandinavian Journal of Educational Research, v39 n3 p257-69 Sep 1995
The relationship between gender and mathematical achievement was investigated in 440 female and 480 male Norwegian third graders. Boys had higher test scores, but the effect size was small. Boys performed better in numeracy, mental arithmetic, and measurement problems. Marked gender differences were found at extreme tails of the distribution. (Author/SLD)
