Research has shown that although girls and boys perform equally in mathematics during early childhood and elementary school, boys start to outperform girls in mathematics by early adolescence (around the ages of 12-14). However, it is important to note that the gender gap in mathematics performance is relatively small and has been decreasing in recent years.
