The article analyses the research into changing perceptions of the so-called gender and mathematics problem. In the research literature it is often taken for granted that women and girls perform significantly worse than men and boys do on mathematical tasks, activities, and examinations. This“truth” is viewed in the broader context of gender identity construction including such phenomena as sexism and stereotyped gender-role. A poststructuralist approach is proposed as a new deconstructive way of perceiving the main categories, such as girls, women and femininity, and of producing their identities through educational and mathematical discourses.
