They found that a certain area of both children's and adults' brains is active while completing Maths exercises. And the activity level of both genders was quite similar.If this is true, why do girls make up only around one-third of STEM （Science, Technology, Engineering, Maths） students?28 Compared with boys, girls are more likely to have bad feelings towards Maths. Most people think boys arc better at Maths, so fewer girls try to start STEM careers. And the economy makes a difference, too.
