【单选题】
The earliest hint of verbal dexterity is enough to earn a language ability label while the slightest struggle with a mathematical concept might as well come with a forehead stamped "{{U}}mathematically inept{{/U}}."
"The common wisdom in the United States is that mathematical ability is somehow innate, and there are people who, no matter how hard they try, will not be able to achieve in mathematics," saidA1Cuoco, director of theCenter for MathematicsEducation atEducationalDepartmentCenter Inc, a nonprofit in Newton, who has taught math since the late 1960s.
Struggling in math is socially acceptable, while having trouble reading is reason for worry. Why the stigma around numbers
Cuoco said the belief that you’ve got a math gene is "anAmerican phenomenon." In the United States, he said, "kids from a very young age are put into two categories: those who get {{U}}it{{/U}} and those who don’t. In other countries, the {{U}}perspective{{/U}} is that if you work hard and apply yourself, anyone can achieve mathematics at an advanced high school level."
AbbyCoyle, 15, of Newton, a sophomore atDana Hall School, an all-girls campus in Wellesley, has long noticed educators putting math andEnglish at opposite poles.
"It seems there is always a distinct classification between math and science andEnglish and social studies," saidCoyle. Part of making your way through elementary school, she said, is figuring out if you’re better at math orEnglish. "Once you fit into one, you don’t concentrate on the other side," saidCoyle, who said it has taken effort to see herself as good at both.
The cultural divide around math is not just about sorting students into math-focused andEnglish-focused, but to make assumptions based on gender.Are boys better at mathDo girls soar inEnglish These may be common presumptions, but research suggests.
