...Proper I. Introduction Rationale: As a future teacher of mathematics, the learning capacity of students and the demographic idiosyncrasies that may affect any such abilities are of great interest to me. From what I have previously heard through more casual and leisurely research, there exists a markedly widespread belief that males out-perform females in mathematics. Through initiating this project, it was my assertion that an analytical compilation of pertinent data would directly assist me in proving otherwise. As a future teacher, therefore, I have anticipated being able to effectively use this work to aid me in better understanding the specific attentions necessitated by each gender so that I may someday influence mutual academic success among boys and girls. General Findings: Indeed, one meta-analysis (Hyde, Fenema, and Lamon 1990) shows that young males do have a tendency to do better on mathematics tests that involve problem-solving, at least by the time that they reach high school. But girls, however, seem to do better when it comes to computation and notably, there exist no relevant gender differences in the understanding of mathematical concepts....
