From the supplier: A review of literatures concerning the gender differences in mathematics and science achievement reveal certain stereotypes perpetuated by society, school and family. The 'Mathematics Report Card for the Nation and the States' by the National Assessment of Educational Progress and 'Everybody Counts: A Report to the Nation on the Future of Mathematics Education' report on the results of gender differences surveys conducted on male and female elementary students. Males were found to show higher motivation levels than females who were stereotyped as not having mathematical skills.
