Study: Girls are wired to be as good in maths as boys

In addition, the researchers found no difference in how boys and girls processed math skills and were equally engaged while watching educational videos. Finally, boys' and girls' brain maturity were statistically equivalent when compared to either men or women in the adult group.

The researchers also compared the results of the 'Test of Early Mathematics Ability', a standardised test for 3- to 8-year-old children, from 97 participants (50 girls) to gauge the rate of math development. They found that math ability was equivalent among the children and did not show a difference in gender or with age.
