[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I saw this and I feel like it is spot on. Girls really like to use the algorithms. They just do. I can completely see it being due to girls being more likely to want rules and being rule followers[/quote] I think that's true as far as it goes, but it's not a biological argument. Girls are socialized to be rule followers. So if you change how you teach in response to the information in the article, are you teaching the child in the best way their brain can learn? Or are you just reinforcing the social norm that caused the gender divide in the first place?[/quote] I have kids of multiple sexes/genders who follow rules, and have different levels of math interest and ability.
