Schwartz, Helga; Papier, Sarah – Urban Education, 1985
The results of this study suggest that, as girls seem to be more receptive to learning at an earlier age, they should start in second or third grade with math enrichment over and above the regular math class. This early intervention might help decrease the inequities that occur later in schooling. (Author/RDN)
