[Math for America DC @math4americadc]

but hey if they dug a little deeper and created a more robust survey (+methods) this could be a legitimately awesome piece of reporting

[Math for America DC @math4americadc]

obviously this survey is "a thoroughly unscientific survey of a self-selecting population" (of nerds like me who regularly read Quanta)

[Math for America DC @math4americadc]

it appears that most women (in this survey) tended to get their math <3 early on (grades 1-5) and less so as they progressed in school

[Math for America DC @math4americadc]

breaking it down by gender + grade shows that male respondents seem to be able to get into it at almost any age (except a dip at grades 6-8)

[Math for America DC @math4americadc]

Prompts a lot of Qs wrt to who loves math + when. The data viz is limited, but one v obvious takeaway is the gender imbalance in respondents https://t.co/HDH8iDqbP8

Why is it hard to recruit and, more importantly, retain teachers? This is definitely part of it. https://t.co/Vx2Si0lhzi

For many teachers, a costly degree + a low paying job = a whole lot of student loan debt. https://t.co/sEljNe2xvl
