Recent public discussions have suggested that the under-representation of women in science and mathematics careers can be traced back to intrinsic differences in aptitude. However, true gender differences are difficult to assess because sociocultural influences enter at an early point in childhood. If these claims of intrinsic differences are true, then gender differences in quantitative and mathematical abilities should emerge early in human de…
A study shows that girls are as strong in math as boys – until they get to school. What's the point?
Watching the discussion about the relevance of studying mathematics, I noticed one false impression that people in creative professions do not need mathematics. This is actually not the case. If we are talking about teaching children at school, then the focus should not be on the practicality of knowledge, but on the child's development. And primarily on the development of the child's brain. On this topic, I highly recommend reading the book “Ho…
French study involving three million children shows that gender inequalities in mathematics begin in the first year of school. stereotypes justify results.
In preschool age, girls and boys have a similar flair for numbers and logic. In school, however, the girls fall back in maths after only a few months. A study from France now shows what this could be due to. Hardly in school, girls fall back significantly in maths compared to boys.

An international observational study dismisses the biological factor of the bias in mathematics between first and second cycle boys and girls. But it reveals inequalities in their mathematical performance, in favor of boys, after just four months of starting classes. Before accessing schools both they
