Most people think males are better than females in mathematics but actually research shows there is no difference between the two genders, no matter where they are in the world. Actually, there are a few famous mathematicians who are females, like Mary Cartwright, Maryam Mirzakhani and Shafi Goldwasser. Thus, in classrooms, teachers should not stereotype that scientists and mathematicians are males only. Also, one of the classmates mentioned that when she was in high school, her teacher always asked boys to lead a project or an activity and girls to help boys as assistants. This was very unfair to girls and so as a future teacher, I would treat all students the same and assign tasks based on the students' competencies.
