Are females more prone to math anxiety than males?
Boys have math anxiety, too, but it disables women more. Girls often feel more stress when doing something that is considered, in our culture (but not in others), a “male domain.” Also, they do not get to practice using math as much as boys by watching and participating in sports. But history shows that many women have succeeded in mathematics and mathematics-based fields of study. In other cultures, girls are as likely to succeed in math as boys.
