OWN A HOME
The nolion that while girls and
Black students o f either sex can do as
well as white boys in mathematics
gained more support this past week as
an expert on testing released results of
a study of almost 10,000 high school
students across the United States.
White female and Black high Khool
seniors scored just as high as white
male seniors on math examinations,
the study showed, if they were equal­
ly skilled as sophomores and if they
had taken the same number o f math

courses.
Dr. Lyle V. Jones o f the Univer­
sity of North Carolina at Chapel H ill,
who conducted the study, said the re­
search suggests that historical d if­
ferences in mathematics test scores
could be reduced further if not elimi­
nated by encouraging girls and Black
males to study math.
“ These results emphasize the im ­
portance of guiding all students in
elementary and secondary schools,
not just white males, to enroll in
mathematics and science courses,"
i r THAT’S RIGHT!!! - HUD is offering several homes listed below for
less than ’25,000!!!
.INTERESTED? - Call any real estate agent and say, “I’m
★ Interested In owning a HUD home.” They’ll provide you with
the information, show you homes, complete the paperwork, and
best of all, HUD PAYS the agent’s commission, if there’s a sale.
★ TOO EXPENSIVE? • If our low, low asking price is more than your
budget will allow, make us an offer!! We might accept It!!
★ WHAT SHOULD YOU DO? - Cali or see a real estate agent TODAY!!!
he said.
Jones is the author o f several wide­
ly publicized studies showing that
Black children are closing the gap
between scores they make on stan­
dardized tests like the SA T and scores
made by while children. At U N C , he
is Alumni Distinguished professor of
psychology and director of the L. L.
Thurstone Psychometric Laboratory.
The new study, financed by the N a­
tional Science foundation and pre­
sented at a recent meeting o f the
American Educational Research As­
sociation, compared how 9,700 stu­
dents who had taken achievement
tests as sophomores during 1980 fared
on similar tests as seniors in 1982
The tests measured skills in com­
putation, arithmetic reasoning, graph
reading, elementary algebra and ge­
ometry and were part o f High School
and Beyond, a project o f the N a­
tional Center for Education Statistics.
As expected. Jones said, students
who continued to take courses like
advanced algebra and trigonometry in
their final two years o f high school
scored significantly higher in 1982
than students who demonstrated
equal ability in 198(1, but stopped
taking math.
Those who had taken math all the
way through avctaged 82 percent
correct answers, while those whose
transcripts showed no courses at the
algebra I level or beyond averaged
only 37 percent correct answers.
“ There have been a number of
suggestions in the literature that males
somehow perform better or learn
more from mathematics than females
do,” Jones said. “ Research continues
to show that the average tests scores
of whites in math is higher than the
average score for Black students at
the same grade level."
Whiles did do better overall than
Blacks on the High School and Be
yond tests and boys fared slightly bet­
ter than girls But after controlling for
advanced coursework and sopho­
more performance, the psychologist
found that the score differences disap­
peared completely.
“ The important elements in the
changes in achievement appear to be
the initial level o f skill and the courses
that the students tix»k in high school,”
he said. "This suggests that by pro­
viding more equal learning opportun­
ities from kindergarten and grade
school onward, we would approach
equal performance."
Jones warned parents, teachers
and guidance counselors not to pre­
judice any children against mathe­
matics, regardless o f what their own
experiences with the subject were
while growing up.
"W hether or not they choose to
continue in higher education, stu­
dents will find that understanding suf­
ficient mathematics and science will
help them keep up with changes in
our technological age." he said.
