Fennema, Elizabeth; Carpenter, Thomas P.; Jacobs, Victoria R.; Franke, Megan L.; Levi, Linda W. – Educational Researcher, 1998
Considers implications of the findings of the study by E. Fennema and others that boys in the primary grades use different mathematics problem-solving strategies than girls and suggests that equitable mathematics instruction may require specific attention to gender differences and underachieving groups. (SLD)
Descriptors: Elementary School Students, Equal Education, Learning Strategies, Longitudinal Studies

Noddings, Nel – Educational Researcher, 1998
Suggests that an explanation for the differences in mathematics problem-solving strategies found in the study by E. Fennema and others may be simply that the girls in the study population are less interested in mathematics than the boys and explores some implications of this explanation. (SLD)

Hyde, Janet Shibley; Jaffee, Sara – Educational Researcher, 1998
