AB Introduction. Differences in learning mathematics between boys and girls are being contro-versial according to different studies. However, those divergences are not always supportedby empirical studies. One of the specific sources of difficulties on this topic is the fluencycalculation learning, where performance differences between boys and girls need be clarifiedby new research, in order to gain more differentiated insights in possibly emerging genderdiffer, because the social and gender consequences. The current study analysed the genderdifferences in fluency calculation.Method. Participants were students of second cycle of primary education (n = 138), agedfrom 101-133 months old (8 year and 4 months to 11 year). Participants were 50 girls and 88boys.Results. Statistical analyses did not showed differences between boys and girls in the 3rdgrade of primary education. However, in the 4th grade the differences did reveal significantdifferences in the fluency calculation task. These results were supported by effect size andmutivariant analysis calculation.Discussion and Conclusion. Data suggests a gender gap around aged 9 between boys andgirls, that would benefit boys in fluency calculation scores. Results, limitations and futurepotential research of the topic are discussed.
