Was physics, not math, but the argument is the same. It is the later, that physics is intrinsically sexist since it was invented by men and therefore uses a male mode of thinking. It is talking about middle school education so there is nothing about sexism among teachers.
Example she used: The kids is given a lab to test how quickly sugar gets dissolved in coffee depending on temperature. A girl suggests they test immediately with hot water and after it got cooled for 5 minutes. A guy suggests they also tests after 10 minutes. The girl objects and says that nobody wants cold coffee so there is no reason to test at that temperature. The boy argues that they should test the how easily sugar gets dissolved depending on temperature and that the setting isn't relevant. This the paper argues is sexist behaviour and the girls perspective got trampled on when the teacher sided with the boy that they should do three tests.
