It is well known that teenage boys tend to do better (1 )math than girls, that male high school students are more likely than their female counterparts ( 2 )advanced math courses like calculus, that virtually all the great mathematicians ( 3 ) men. Are women born with(4)mathematical ability? Or does society’s sexism slow their progress? In 1980, two Johns Hopkins University researchers tried ( 5 )the eternal nature/nurture debate. Julian Stanley and Camilla Benbow ( 6 )10,000 talented seventh and eighth graders between 1972 and 1979. Using the Scholastic Aptitude Test, in which math questions are meant to measure ability rather than knowledge, they discovered ( 7 )sex differences.(8 ) the verbal abilities of the males and females ( 9 )differed, twice as many boys as girls scored over 500 (on a scale of 200 to 800) on mathematical ability; at the 700 level, the ratio was 14 to 1. The conclusion: males have (10 )superior mathematical reasoning ability.

They were selected from geometry classes and tested on their ability to solve geometry proofs, a subject requiring( 14)— abstract reasoning and spatial ability. The conclusion(15)by Usiskin: there are no sex differences in math ability.
