Mathematics is abstract but logical in nature. Many concepts in mathematics cannot be explained easily in terms of physical
representations or problems related to everyday life. It is a commonly accepted opinion that mathematics as a subject favors
male students. A large sample of 1500 grade VI students (public sector schools) was drawn from four districts of the Punjab
province. The study sought to find out the gender differential mathematic performance of the students. MCQs based
achievement test was constructed and tried out on 200 students. Items for final test were selected by keeping in view the
criteria of classical test theory and item response theory. It was found that in solving problems of geometry and factorization
female students perform significantly better than male. Boys and girls have shown equivalent problem solving proficiency in
algebra, area and perimeter, whole number and volume and surface area. Curricula devised for these subject areas might be
inappropriate at these ages. Therefore, the curriculum should be thoroughly reviewed to ensure that concepts are interlinked
and concepts are developed step by step.
