Hanna, Gila

Journal for Research in Mathematics Education, v17 n3 p231-37 May 1986

Sex-related differences in achievement were studied in a random sample of 130 schools, using data from the Second International Mathematics Study. No significant differences were found in arithmetic, algebra, and probability and statistics; for geometry and measurement, boys were more successful. (MNS)
