The purpose of this research is to study the relationship between growth mindset and mathematics achievement in the transition between primary and secondary school. Furthermore, we tried to investigate whether differences in growth mindset can explain dissimilar performances between men and women in mathematics in this same context. 135 students from a private educational institution in Metropolitan Lima participated. A questionnaire on growth mentality was applied and the psychometric properties of this instrument were analyzed. Growth mindset is found to be positively correlated with student math performance, albeit weakly. The Spearman correlation coefficient between growth mindset and academic achievement in 5th grade is 0.260 (p <0.001) and in 6th grade it is 0.236 (p <0.001). The correlation between growth mindset and math achievement in 7th grade is not statistically significant, although this may be due to the smaller sample size. Regarding the differences between the genders, no statistically significant difference is found in the means of growth mindset. No difference is found between male and female academic achievement in mathematics. A statistically significant difference between the results in standard mathematics tests between men and women is found. Taking these results into consideration, we find no evidence that growth mindset is a mechanism that explains the differences found.
