| Abstract | Ninth-grade scores for 157 females and 148 males for three cognitive tests (Test of Academic Progress, Quick Word Test, and Space Relations Test of the Differential Aptitude Tests) and the eight Fennema-Sherman Mathematics Attitudes Scales were used to predict mathematics performance: grades in a second, third, and fourth year of theoretical math (latter, females only, n = 30) and scores of senior girls on the Mental Arithmetic Problems test (n = 85). Using multiple regression, ninth-grade scores significantly predicted mathematics performance 1-3 years later. Spatial visualization was an important variable, significantly predicting geometry grade for girls, but not for boys. Aside from math achievement, spatial visualization was the only other variable with a significant weight in predicting mathematical problem-solving scores for girls over a 3-year period. |
