Study: Girls equal to boys in math skills
WASHINGTON (AP) --
Sixteen years after
Barbie dolls declared,
"Math class is tough!"
girls are proving that, at
math, they are just as
tough as boys in the
largest study of its kind,
girls measured up to
boys in math in every
grade, from second
through 11th. The
research was released
Thursday in the journal
Science. Parents and
teachers persist in
thinking boys are
simply better at math,
said Janet Hyde, the

teachers persist in
thinking boys are
simply better at math,
said Janet Hyde, the
University of Wisconsin-Madison researcher who led the study. And girls, who
grew up believing it, wound up avoiding harder math classes.
"It keeps girls and women out of a lot of careers, particularly high-prestige,
lucrative careers in science and technology," Hyde said.
That's changing, albeit slowly. Women are now earning 48 percent of
undergraduate college degrees in math; they still lag far behind in physics and
engineering. ut in primary and secondary school, girls have caught up, with
researchers attributing that advance to increasing numbers of girls taking
advanced math classes such as calculus.
Hyde and her colleagues looked at annual math tests required by the No Child
Left Behind education law in 2002. Ten states provided enough statistical
information to review test scores by gender, allowing researchers to compare the
performance of more than 7 million children.
The researchers found no difference in the scores of boys versus girls -- not
even in high school, where previous studies have suggested girls lagged slightly
behind in math. Text article from cnn.com
