This is important because CONFIDENCE DECLINES AS GIRLS GET OLDER as does their belief in their ability in math and/or science. The sharpest change is between 5th and 9th grade, then the rates level off but don't recover by high school graduation.

GIRLS' PERCEPTIONS OF THEIR INTELLIGENCE also change as they get older.
In 5th grade, 23% of girls do not feel they are smart enough for their dream career; by high school this doubles to 46%
