In a comprehensive review of sex differences, Maccoby and Jacklin (1974) concluded that male students consistently outperformed female students on mathematics tests. Hyde (1981), using results from the pertinent studies reported by Maccoby and Jacklin, reported that although the differences consistently favored male students, the sizes of the differences were generally small.

When your president declined my suggestion to furnish a substitute for this occasion he stated that he desired a college teacher to introduce the topic, a fact which I may seem to overlook, for I believe that in general the best course in secondary school algebra for the student who does not go to college is the best course for the one that does. I am in a position to view the product of the high school course, or perhaps I should say the better product, and I might give my conclusions as to the parts of the work that need stressing. I shall try.
