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

Hi Melissa,
Your blog looks very nice and you've chosen a fascinating topic. Good Luck!
Ron
Hey
Like the set-up easy on the eyes. I love your topic, by using picture books, comics, and other graphical examples I feel you will really get to the heart of your topic because graphic representations are often more powerful and say more about what society things or does then words
I'm looking forward to your final result
Thank you :o)
Your blog looks great Melissa! I love this math comic. It shows that mathematics can be relative to students and the real world. They just have to want to find that connection!
Good luck with the blog and your MRP!
Lindsay
Melissa,
This was a comic which I
felt said that boys were more interested in math than girls.
-Lynda.
Lynda,
I think so too, since the girl is the one sitting at the desk struggling and not interested in mathematics. On the contrary, the boy seems very excited to do mathematics and appears to not understand why the girl does not.
