__Aim__ The aim of this study was to observe differences in behaviors between young boys and girls in class discussions.

__Hypothesis__ Our directional hypothesis to be tested would be that within a mathematics class of students between the ages of six and seven, boys will answer and comment on problems in class by either talking to a friend, or shouting out in class more often than girls would. Whereas girls would more often comment on class discussions only when called on, and therefore demonstrating this by raising their hands.

__Conclusions__

The data gathered from this observation illustrated that on average girls would more often participate in class discussions by shouting out or talking to a peer, whereas boys would more often raise their hands, and would less often speak out when not asked to. This illustrates that the hypothesis was incorrect, however brings about the idea that girls may demonstrate more peer and teacher relations within the classroom than boys would at this age.
