My mum uses a computer, too!
In this chapter, a group of school teachers illustrate how the introduction of the computer into their mathematics classrooms can have a positive anti-sexist effect through avoiding gender stereotyping and bias and by ensuring that technology-based tasks are female-friendly. The chapter title comes from a quote from a female pupil in one of their classrooms who talked positively, and proudly, about using a computer in her mathematics lessons – just like her mother uses a computer.
