Abstract
This study is the analytic research of items having gender gap in 6th grade students in 'National Assessment of Educational Achievement(NAEA)'. For this problem solving, the following was investigated. First, items having gender gap were selected in NAEA for the past eight years. Then, the mathematical factors that cause gender gap were analyzed. Second, to do this the field test was developed using item concept map. Finally, after the analysis of field test result the reason of gender gap was deduced. Through this study the improvement of mathematics teaching and learning method in elementary school is expected.
