As her Screen Time app will confirm, Vanessa spends way too much time online - so when trends involving math pop up, you can be sure she has commented, shared, ranted, and made her own version.

Sadly, most of these “trends” involve negative stereotypes around math ability.  These cliches are also extremely gendered, specifically directed at women and girls.

So today she discusses 3 recent viral trends and what we can do to flip the script (click the links for examples):

  1. “I'm creative ... bc I suck at math"
  2. "I'm just pretending to do math - you’re the smart one"
  3. "I'm too pretty to do math"
