Has anyone wondered why male children are particularly more interested in math than the female child? Recent studies have shown that children's fathers have been playing a big role in their kids interests in education. When the father has a son, he typically stereotypes between the son and daughter, and pays more attention to the son. Parents will more often buy more math related toys for male children then they would for female children, which influences their learning habits. This has shown a dramatic change in the way females and males learn today. The University of Michigan has been doing studies on this topic finding that more math products have been bought for the male gender.
