Abstract

This article presents results of a re-analysis of four quantitative empirical studies on geometrical reasoning and proof at the lower secondary level. It aims at identifying possible gender effects with respect to this competency. The re-analysis encompasses data of nearly 2800 students from grade 7 respectively grade 8. The results confirm those of some international studies and suggest only minor gender differences. They explain a comparably small amount of the variance in mathematical performance.
