This seemed interesting. For anyone else who was wondering, the separate girls and boys math circles was due to circumstance not an idea that girls shouldn't learn math with boys or in the same environment. This is addressed in the first page of the girls chapter. I know I had a strong initial impression from the TOC, but it is worth holding judgment.

I didn't read the whole thing unfortunately, but I do agree with much of the material at the very beginning - make math interesting and challenging, and spur creative thinking rather than trying to force kids through a curriculum.

Very helpful. Came into comments looking for someone to address the gender issues.
