Study says notion that boys are better at math no longer adds up
A new study puts to rest one of the most widespread myths about boys' and girls' aptitude in math. After analyzing 7 million test scores, researchers found no difference. The findings demonstrate great strides since the 1970s when major studies showed pronounced differences in the scores of males and females. By the 1980s, younger students were matched - but girls fell behind when they hit adolescence.

I do not believe that boys are any better at math than girls are. I have seen girls who are just as intelligent, if not more, than some boys especially in math. I think those who still think boys are smarter in math than girls are still living in the 17 and 1800 when people thought girls had smaller brains and were less intelligent.
