Abstract
This literature review covers studies of gender differences in learning math, science, and technology. The possibility that female students think and learn differently as well as interact with equipment differently from boys is "a major key to beginning to understand how best to educate girls in math, science, and technological areas." Suggestions for strategies to rethink gender biases in the classroom and profession organizations are presented.
