Question

18．Overall，gender（性别）differences in math tend to be small．Statements like"Boys do better than girls in math"should not be read as one that all boys perform better than all girls in math．In some recent studies almost no differences have been found．For example，in the national Assessment of Educational Progress study，there were no great difference in the average scores of eighth and twelfth grade boys and girls．
As a math teacher，I hope to do everything in my power to encourage girls to have more confidence in math．Of course I want every girl and boy in my class to see that they can succeed in math．I do not allow boys monopolize（垄断）the answering of questions in my classroom．I call on girls and boys equally and I don't let any student get away by saying"I don't know"or by shrugging their shoulders．I will guide students to a solution．
In one project I assign to my 8th grade algebra（几何）students，they have to research a mathematician and report to the class．I encourage as many students as possible，boys and girls，to research some of the famous female mathematicians．When the girls see how much women had to do to study mathematics years ago，it helps them to see how fortunate their opportunities are today．In this way I provide girls with positive math experiences．
