chosen.content: The general consensus is that Asians tend to have a cultural bias towards math and science from a young age, with parents and education systems pushing students to focus on these topics, often leading to higher skill levels and aptitude when they get older. Additionally, a lot of the educational systems in Asian countries put a lot of emphasis on rote memorization and problem-solving strategies, both of which are highly utilized in math. Furthermore, there is evidence of higher levels of testosterone in Asian populations, which has been correlated with increased mathematical ability. Finally, some studies have suggested an ability to focus longer and remember more details due to cultural aspects like meditation or respect for the elderly.

rejected.content: Many researchers have proposed several potential reasons why Asians may be better represented in math achievement than other racial or ethnic groups. One proposed reason is the importance of family support, with some Asian cultures placing strong value on academics and parents who have the resources to help their children to focus on academics. Another suggested reason is the Asian culture’s emphasis on rote memorization, which can be an effective way for younger children to learn and practice math. Additionally, some Asian cultures have traditional practices, such as hedge schooling, which focus on math teaching and which produce excellent results. Furthermore, some Asians language’s emphasize gender-neutral terms, which can help students learn concepts and build mathematical intuitions.
