Sex Differences in Mathematical Errors: An Analysis of Distracter Choices.

Marshall, Sandra P.

Journal for Research in Mathematics Education, v14 n5 p325-36 Nov 1983

Assessment test data from 1976-79 on California children in grade six were analyzed. Loglinear models were used to evaluate the consistency of response of each sex. A significant interaction between sex and choice of distractor occurred for a large majority of the items. (MNS)
