  In Roundtable Session: Experiences of K-12 Students in STEM Disciplines

Abstract

Research indicates that a gender gap continues to exist. How can we understand the processes at work that perpetuate and broaden this gap? The purpose of the paper is to contribute to efforts that address this important question. Our focus is to examine what competence in mathematics means across grade levels. In addition, we document the extent to which students identify with what constitutes as mathematical activity at each level
