Gender Differences Among Top Performing Elementary School Students in Mathematical Ability.

Park, Hae-Seong; Bauer, Scott C.; Sullivan, Lisa Melancon

Journal of Research and Development in Education, v31 n3 p133-41 Spr 1998

Examined gender differences in the mathematics performance of high-achieving fourth and sixth graders, noting the effects of ethnicity. Scores from 1996 California Achievement Tests indicated that students in both grades showed significant gender differences. There were no interaction effects of gender by ethnicity. There were inconsistent racial differences across two subskill areas. (Author/SM)
