The Importance of Female Teachers in Mathematics Education

In this paper we investigate the role of women in the mathematics and, in particular, the importance of female teachers in mathematics education. The gender stereotypes in the world have always tried to exclude women from mathematics, but in history, women have made fundamental changes in mathematics. So, we must try to create better opportunities for women to learn mathematics more and more. Nowadays, in almost all girl's high schools and in most primary schools, women teachers teach math for students. Thus, we study the importance of the role of women as a math teacher in the point of views: professional development and the scientific foundations of women's mathematical teachers, changing the attitudes of female teachers toward mathematical education for girls and the teachers' skills in motivating and controlling anxiety of students. In addition, by some experiences from the author, we explain the effect of female teachers on motivating and encouraging students, especially female students, to learn math and reduce stress of students in the math classroom.
