Abstract

The purpose of this research is to describe the reasoning of male and female pupils when solving mathematical problems. In this study, descriptive research with a qualitative methodology was used. Subjects were chosen based on their outstanding mathematical abilities. Math ability tests, math problem solving test data, and interview data were used to collect study data. The findings revealed that male pupils solved math problems differently than female ones. This is obvious from the outcomes of math problem solving exams and interviews. Male students are less confidence in their own opinions and rely on researchers for assistance, but female students are more confident when expressing their replies to researchers.
