Abstract: Gender-differences in mathematical tests seem to exist. While girls often do well In classroom tests, boys outperform them in standardized tests. Educator attempt to understand such differences from a social and cultural perspective. Gender is a social concept. Gender-identity and gender- roles are develop during the socialization process. If parents and educators provide a gender-free learning environment, it is believed that both boys and girls can do well in mathematics. It is undeniable that males and females are to a certain extent biologically different. Educators should pay intensive attention to the social and economic factors that Shape a person’s self-beliefs and social perception. Discussion of ways to narrow the gender-gap in mathematics is presented.
