00:0-1 | Hey parents , do you have a girl who is | |
00:02 | struggling with math a little bit , but deep down | |
00:06 | you just know the girl is smart and if she | |
00:09 | just apply herself a little more , she'll be able | |
00:12 | to handle the smart thing . Well , here's the | |
00:15 | thing girls , we all know develop a little bit | |
00:18 | earlier than boys relational . E what you might not | |
00:22 | know is this earlier development in relation awareness actually is | |
00:29 | the very thing might trip them up . Let me | |
00:32 | explain three areas that are observed at work and uh | |
00:38 | , why that's the case . So you can learn | |
00:41 | how to work with your smart growth . Hi , | |
00:45 | I'm dr phoenix pan a performance coach at Georgia math | |
00:48 | . My job is to teach kids get over their | |
00:51 | math fair so they can do everything they want to | |
00:56 | do if you like this channel and find this valuable | |
01:00 | , give us a thumbs up and subscribe to the | |
01:02 | channel . All right , what are the three areas | |
01:06 | ? Area number one is memorization . As I said | |
01:10 | earlier , girls develop a little bit earlier than boys | |
01:14 | , relational . E Now this means that they are | |
01:18 | more aware of their surroundings and they're more conscience engines | |
01:22 | . When it comes to their homework , they are | |
01:24 | readily to follow more instructions . So when it comes | |
01:28 | to math , for example , third grade multiplication table | |
01:32 | girls typically have that memorized a lot quicker than boys | |
01:38 | because they're willing to put in the work . However | |
01:41 | , if this is the only technique , your daughter | |
01:44 | or your girl is grabbing and getting used to the | |
01:49 | technique of memorization that will set them learning math backward | |
01:55 | quite a bit . Let me explain why that's the | |
01:58 | case . If you have a girl between third grade | |
02:02 | and fifth grade , you really want to pay attention | |
02:04 | . Because fifth grade is when word problem is introduced | |
02:09 | . As you remember . Probably that word problem is | |
02:13 | all about figuring math out . What is the key | |
02:16 | concept behind that word problem . Memorization , in fact | |
02:21 | is a dead end when it comes to solving what | |
02:24 | problems . Memorization itself is not bad when it comes | |
02:29 | to learning say subject like history , but when it | |
02:33 | comes to math , that's detrimental because that again is | |
02:37 | about figuring things out . The second area I noticed | |
02:42 | where our girls get set behind is social aspect . | |
02:49 | Again our girls develop a little earlier , they're relational | |
02:54 | awareness , make them more aware of um for example | |
02:58 | , fear of making mistakes , they look back , | |
03:02 | um make them more fearful of not fitting in and | |
03:07 | sometimes they worry about more about looking come across like | |
03:11 | looking at like a nerd boys for my observation at | |
03:16 | this age group often jump in headlong with competition , | |
03:20 | sometimes a little too headlong . But our girls on | |
03:23 | the other hand starting to doubting about themselves , starting | |
03:28 | to dumb down their own game just to fit in | |
03:31 | that aspect . Set them back . The third area | |
03:36 | I observed at work is that trip our girls learning | |
03:39 | Math is gender stereotype in schools . Sometimes even from | |
03:45 | their own math teachers , boys are perceived as better | |
03:50 | at math naturally , where girls often inadvertently made it | |
03:55 | feel they don't belong in the class . Now , | |
03:57 | if you have a teacher , um currently , if | |
04:01 | that's the situation where you don't want to do is | |
04:03 | with the energy changing that teacher , what you actually | |
04:06 | want to do is spend all the energy supporting and | |
04:10 | encouraging young girls at home , spend more time with | |
04:13 | them and maybe even find extra help for your girl | |
04:16 | outside the school . And in some extreme cases , | |
04:21 | if you really need to maybe talk to the principal | |
04:24 | and switch your girl outside that teacher who is not | |
04:28 | supportive because end of the day , you don't want | |
04:32 | your girl doubting her ability to do math , You | |
04:35 | want to protect that learning environment for her . So | |
04:40 | here's a key three key points on how to work | |
04:43 | with the smart girls . Key number one , you | |
04:46 | really want to encourage and teach you girl to learn | |
04:51 | the key concepts of maths early on , not just | |
04:54 | rely on memorization uh math facts , you know , | |
05:00 | uh stay away from memorization as early as you can | |
05:04 | teach your girl to learn the key concepts number to | |
05:07 | spend more time to encourage you girl and guide their | |
05:11 | natural brilliance from within . So they don't dumb down | |
05:14 | their game to fit in . And the key number | |
05:17 | three is keep communication open . Do lots of role | |
05:21 | plays very early on , teach you girls not only | |
05:25 | to recognize but how to handle an unsupported math teacher | |
05:29 | . So if you do all those three things , | |
05:33 | you have a happier , more confident math girl and | |
05:37 | who knows she's smart , who knows she's supported and | |
05:42 | who knows that world is wide open to do whatever | |
05:45 | she wants to do . All right . Um , | |
05:48 | we would love to hear from your comments . What's | |
05:52 | the experience like for you ? What has you and | |
05:55 | your daughter battled through ? What's , um , what's | |
05:59 | some of the wisdom you can share with our community | |
06:01 | ? Leave comments below would love to hear from you | |
06:04 | so stronger math , happier kids until next time , | |
06:08 | happy parenting . |
