Question

◆ You’ll never be good at Maths.

It’s generally accepted that boys are good at Maths and girls aren’t. The fact is that it isn’t true.

When girls reach their teens, most of them lose their interest in Maths. They think they are females. They want to stay away from things that are boys’ things, and Maths is still thought of to be a boy’s thing. The Maths class is hard, but if you give it a chance, you could be great at Maths, especially because you are a girl.
