Girls and Math

I think this article from Stanford University has some important research implications about how we instruct and motivate girls in math.  Many of our own Middleton girls fall into this trap of not seeing themselves as capable and confident mathematicians.  Unfortunately, we see many of our girls, even those gifted and advanced, pulling away from advanced course work and careers in mathematics.

Food for thought as you firm up MTI Unit Studies and begin to think about instructional strategies.
