Who's smarter?

Question

Who is smarter in math. Boys or girls. This would be very helpful for college research.

Answer 1

I've noticed more boys advanced in math while females exhale in English and get better at math later in life like in their early to mid 20's.

Answer 2

girls rule!!!!!!!!1

Answer 3

Do you want answers based on what social scientists(politically correct answers) say or answers known by the scientific community for ages?  First I'd like to point out, men and women are biologically different.  Their brains are physically different.  To say men and women have equal abilities on everything is a lie.  Feminists and social theorists might argue otherwise but they are hardly the people who are experts in this field.  If you believe society is the cause of all our differences that is naive and stupid thinking.

On average men have the higher math abilities.  When it comes to simple calculations it becomes more even.  The more difficult and abstract the math the more the differences will show.   This is evident in the pure dominance in men winning math olympiads and fields medals.  Men dominate the upper echelons of professions requiring high mathematics.  Also, differences emerges even more the older you get, heredity takes over.  Boys also mature slower than girls.  If your comparing boys and girls at a young age it might not be so large but comparing men and women it will be.  

According to ETS the average GRE quantitative scores were 610 for men and 522 for women.  There were 13 times as many boys than girls who scored a 700+ on SAT math.  Men outscore women on the math and spatial portions of IQ tests on average.

Answer 4

My guess is that girls r!!! aren't there more girls in the world then boys!!! that means there is a higher chance of girls being better in math then boys BUT that is just a guess {i personally think it depends on the person not the gender!!!}

Answer 5

why would you ask something like that??? girls of course!

Answer 6

It has been said that boys have been better for many years, but recently there has been a large incline in girls being better, most likely due to female teachers pressing the girls more so they can be at the same level if no higher.

Answer 7

being the salutatorian of my freshman class, u could say boys are smarter, but although i have a higher grade in algebra 2, im gonna say girls are smarter in almost all subjects cuz we have a girl genius in our class (who scored 1280 on the sat in 7th grade) in which the only things i beat her in are math and foreign language.

Answer 8

There are a number of factors that come into play when answering this question, and i don't think it has ever been answered definitively.

If this is for college research you might want a more reliable source than a bunch of strangers who have no actual expertise in the area.

Answer 9

I shouldn't be saying this but a research se=aid girls were smarter, i think because they dont have anything to do .but there is something everyone has to admit a male person is the one that invented the computer the tv the ps3 ....etc......

Answer 10

Boys

Answer 11

From what ive seen, Girls are smarter in everything than boys!

Answer 12

I've noticed all throughout my years of schooling that men are better at math but grrls can be good it too it depends on where they went to school and if the students put in the effort to learn the material   also you have tech yourself the plug-ins and formulas too.

Answer 13

grl r... we had this queston in my math class last yr... n my teacher prooved that grls r better in math then guy's r.. i donno Y...

Answer 14

I believe there was a study that claimed girls usually do better in math (though it doesn't necessarily mean they're smarter).

Answer 15

I have heard that girls absorb math better than boys.

Answer 16

s*x is not an indicator of math intelligence

Answer 17

Historically, it has always been believed that overall, men excel in math, women in verbal skills.  I think many studies have shown this.  However, current trends in education are blurring that distinction.  You see much more language in math now (i.e. word problems).  Math includes so much more than just calcuations nowadays- school work is often based on process and creative problem solving, and grades reflect that.

So when it comes to logic, problem solving, spatial intelligence... males have the biological advantage.  But put math into real-world context, and women dominate.

Answer 18

i think boys, they think logically. math requires thinkers who think logically. girls too think logically but not as good as boys. the number of students who got A in my school in my batch : the majority is boys.

Answer 19

girls some boys dont care :)

Answer 20

i think it depends on the inverment the person grew up in.

Answer 21

cant say

Answer 22

I beieve this is a sexist question. It is degrading to both  genders to simply generalize like that.

And as a raging feminist, even I admit that.
