"Gender Stereotypes About Math Develop as Early as Second Grade" ScienceDaily 3-14-11
I think the message here goes beyond gender stereotyping. Speaking from personal experience, I know I stopped pursuing any interests in math somewhere in the middle school to high school era, because I concluded I just wasn't a math person--even though today, I love math. I work with girls and boys who appear to have come to a similar conclusion, and they are often surprised to find that not only can they understand math, but that math can be fun.
