Gender Identification in Math Picture Books for Young Children.
Welcome to my MRP Blog
As many of you know, I am currently a Masters of Education student. I am researching mathematics picture books and its gender content. My Master’s MRP title will be: Gender Identification: An Analysis of Gender in Mathematics Picture books for Young Children. I will be using identification and gender theory as a framework for analysis.
Before I engage in my research, I have created this blog for a Digital Technology course I am currently enrolled in, and would like to see what other people think about my research. By no means will your ideas or thoughts be used in my research.
Please feel free to post your thoughts, questions, and feedback on my blog! I am very interested in aspects and perspectives that I have not considered in my research and would greatly appreciate your input.
Thanks,
Melissa

I know I have felt like sliding under the table while doing math at times.
Oh my goodness. I remember feeling like this in grade 5. I could never answer the questions fast enough in the multiplication game called "Around the World." I remember feeling so embarassed . . . not good for the old self-esteem when you're only 9 - lol!
Nia and Kristin,
Thank you for posting your past and/or present 'fears' of mathematics. I too feel that games such as "Around the World" whether it be for math or any other subject, can be an intimidating game, when you're put on the spot.
