On the Australian Mathematics Competition, boys responded correctly to more questions than did girls, but this difference came largely from a handful of questions. Responses to questions where sex differences occurred are discussed. (MNS)

This study investigated the rates of successful mathematical performance and errors of information processing in third-grade children in California and continued an investigation of these factors in sixth-grade children. The objectives were to: (1) identify areas of mathematics in which the children had recognizable strengths and weaknesses, (2)…

Maintains that there is an inconsistency in the regression analysis of the data presented in Maureen J.
