Ideally, themoney would be evenly distributed among the team.

Students report that mathbecomes more difficult, that they receive less support from parents, teachers and peers forstudying math, and that math becomes more anxiety provoking over time. Female studentsreported that math was more difficult than did male students, and females rated themselves asmore anxious in quantitative situations than males, even though their mathematical ability wasapproximately equal [2]. In fact, as early as the seventh grade, boys plan to study more maththan girls do [3]. High school girls perceive math to be less useful than boys do [4], and valuemath less than boys do [5].

incollege, the students usually work alone: in class, taking notes, doing homework, studying forand taking tests, writing papers, giving presentations, and managing their own time. Typically,in the laboratory the student will partner with another student. However, the dynamics of a teamof two does not at all compare to that of a larger group. Hence, while this overall approach istraditional and works well for the individual in an academic setting, it can be a shock when thestudent needs to work in a larger team in industry. Considerable time is spent in the first-quarterEE-407 course on team building, and this continues throughout the year.2. Understand the difference between a problem and a solution.
