Gender Differences in Academically Talented Young Students' Mathematical Reasoning: Patterns across Age and Subskills.
Mills, Carol J.; And Others
Journal of Educational Psychology, v85 n2 p340-46 Jun 1993
Among 1,453 male and 1,133 female academically talented 7- to 11-year-old students, boys performed better overall than girls on mathematical reasoning. Gender differences appeared as early as second grade, varying according to mathematics subskills. Male performance was better on tasks requiring application of algebraic rules and understanding of mathematical concepts. (SLD)
