Mathematics is the foundation for success in a variety of content areas, during a child’s educational experience. Basically the goal of teaching mathematics, especially at the elementary level is to prepare pupils to develop critical and creative outlook as they confront the challenges of daily life (Meremikwu 2008). The objectives of the study are to examine the gender difference in students’ achievement in Geometry and to find out the relationship between the achievement of male and female in matured and active delta areas. A Survey was conducted among 400 students in 19 schools of South 24 Parganas, West Bengal by random sampling technique. A standardized achievement test in mathematics prepared by the author was exercised as a tool. Data was analyzed by mean, standard deviation, t-test and graphical presentation. 83% students have given correct answer and in the component construction and in the component namely axioms and theorems on straight lines, angles, triangles etc. they had shown least achievements, only 44.5 % students have given correct answer only. In the component fundamental geometrical concept, achievement of boys was 52.38% and that of girls was 56.32% and that of boys was 52.38%. It was noticeable that in that component, the achievement of girls was higher than that of boys. It is important to accelerate the process of eradicating gender gap with special emphasis on girls students. Girls students should be informed the importance of mathematics and it is the basic tool for further education. Mathematics teaching and evaluation strategies should be bias-free. This way, males and females will tend to see themselves as equals, capable of competing and collaborating in classroom activities.
