In schools across the country, students are avoiding the study of mathematics, and this behavior is much more prevalent among girls than boys. This 1980 Abt Books study brings the reader closer to an understanding of this problem by presenting the findings of a three-year longitudinal study of 1,500 students in three New England schools under the auspices of the Spencer Foundation and the National Institute of Education. The author identifies four central causative factors and compares them along the dimensions of age, sex, and socioeconomic status. The author proposes five remedial strategies.

First published in 1985. In the mid-seventies, there was growing concern that early decisions not to study mathematics in high school might be limiting the occupational options available to women. As part of a larger program on career development, the Career Awareness Division of the Education and Work Group, then one of the major organizational units of the National Institute of Education (NIE), initiated a special research grants program on women and mathematics. Research information that would sort out the competing explanations for women’s lower rate of participation seemed a useful contribution to debates about possible remedial actions. Should there be, for example, widespread development and implementation of programs designed to reduce mathematics anxiety? This volume represents the culmination of a research program with many contributions.
