Michael Britt_ (2010) in his TIPS post "Girls and Boys math scores" asked:
"Does anyone have the link to the recent research showing that girls
and boy's math scores really don't differ?"
To which Jim Clark (2010) responded [my insert at ". . . .
[[insert]]. . . ."]:
"Here is a link to a brief summary. . . .[[Science Daily (2010]]. . .
. of one recent world-wide study . . . . .[[Else-Quest, Hyde, & Linn
(2010)]] . . . . . showing no overall difference in averages between
males and females on measures of math achievement."
For more than you probably ever wanted to know about gender
difference in mathematics (and science) see "Gender Issues in
Science/Math Education (GISME)" [Mallow & Hake (2008)].
