A new study suggests that girls and women may be more likely to rely on step-by-step algorithms to solve basic math problems, while boys and men may use more mental shortcuts. Teachers, how well does this match your classroom observations?

The reasons are not yet fully understood, but researchers consider societal influences that encourage greater compliance among girls as a potential cause.

What can math teach us about equality? In this podcast episode, learn how multiple approaches can lead to the same mathematical outcome. And how that perspective can shape how we understand people and problem-solving. ⤵️ https://t.co/Atuf6ALidJ

Mathematician Eugenia Cheng wants us to rethink our relationship to math -- and equality. We hear how different paths lead to identical outcomes in math, and how that can help us all in real life.
