]]> Comment on Girls = Boys when it comes to maths by Mgccl http://excellentmaths.com/blog/announcement/girls-boys-when-it-comes-to-maths/#comment-4568 Mgccl Sat, 29 Nov 2008 01:58:50 +0000 http://excellentmaths.com/blog/?p=20#comment-4568 SAT level math doesn't measure math ability at all. All it does is differentiate people who actually listen in class or not. Because it is way too easy. Mathematics is about the ability to solve complex problems and to discover creative solutions. SAT problems are no way complex. the hardest SAT problem are just about the level of the easiest problems in AMC. There is no problem truly requires thinking, it's all make simple equations, plug in and solve. There is no thought provoking and creative process. I have 800 on SAT math section, even it's math level 2 subject test, but usually getting around 100 out of 150 on AMC. I would say AMC, AIME and USAMO are much better indicator to student's ability in mathematics, those are REAL challenging problems. Look at US's IMO team, it's almost all boys though out all these years. AMS have done a study on mathematical ability with the AMC, USAMO and IMO results. I found that one much useful than this.
