Abstract

Problem Statement: Individual differences in education have great importance. Such differences become particularly crucial in disciplines such as mathematics and geometry. One of the most frequently investigated individual differences is gender-related. Gender differences in mathematics may be different depending upon the particular area of mathematics. Therefore, gender differences in geometry performance and efficacy deserve attention.
