Girls in the Mathematics Classroom: What's Happening with Our Best and Brightest?
Strauss, Shiela M.
Mathematics Teacher, v81 n7 p533-37 Oct 1988
This study investigated issues affecting the achievement of girls talented in mathematics, focusing on those enrolled in the Advanced Placement program. Data from 1975, when boys were first admitted to all-girl classes, to 1985 are compared. Aptitude increased, achievement remained virtually unchanged, but GPAs for girls dropped. (MNS)
