There's no difference between guys and girls in math class!

 

Check these out, too...

  • Could you deal with an all-veg cafeteria menu?
  • Merida's makeover: Big deal or not so much?
  • 3 signs you need to give your study group the boot
  • 7 ridiculous caffeine-laced products (and why they just might disappear)
  • How not to pull an all-nighter (and stay sane if you have to)
Remember that old elementary schoolyard taunt, "Boys go to Jupiter to get more stupider. Girls go to college to get more knowledge"?  Turns out that that saying doesn't really cut it anymore.  According to io9.com, boys and girls really don't have as much of an intellectual separation in areas such as math as we thought.


For as long as we can remember, there has been a controversy over whether or not men and women have superior abilities with that tricky numbers subject.  They even tried to say that it was because men had larger brains!  Not so, girlies, not so at all.

Recently, studies performed on the "gender gap" have proven that if there ever was an actual gender gap, it has most certainly taken a fall.  What was once boiled down to the biology has instead been attributed to education, culture and environment.  What does that mean for you? Your skill in the math has absolutely nothing to do with your gender, babe, so thrust your hand in the air and rock the next Q Teach throws out there.

Talk it out: Are you good at math?

I'm that way with science... I hate math -_- but yea i totally agree, everyone in my math classes test grades are ALWAYS close. its creepy. someone gets an 87, someone else might get an 85, but nobody gets a 90 or below a 70 except my buddy (crush) because he doesnt do anything, he's a math-lump xD

i'm one of the smartest kids in my grade(8th). But it's not saying much cause there are only about 5 boys in our class of 67 that are smart and there are about only 5 other smart girls in my class too. But i got to skip 8th grade math and take Algebra 1 which is for highschoolers so i feel smarter than most boys.

But if guys are as smart as girls, then why do they act so stupid?!
