Product Description

Young girls today need strong female role models to embrace the idea that its okay to be smartin fact, its sexy to be smart! Its Danica McKellars mission to be this role model, and demonstrate on a large scale that math doesnt suck. In this fun and accessible guide, McKellardubbed a math superstar by The New York Timesgives girls and their parents the tools they need to master the math concepts that confuse middle-schoolers most, including fractions, percentages, pre-algebra, and more. The book features hip, real-world examples, step-by-step instruction, and engaging stories of Danicas own childhood struggles in math (and stardom). In addition, borrowing from the style of todays teen magazines, it even includes a Math Horoscope section, Math Personality Quizzes, and Real-Life Testimonialsultimately revealing why math is easier and cooler than readers think.

Would have prefered an expedited shipping option but got the book in one week as expected. Unable to post review/response to sender's site as my computer is on terminating dial up and does not connect well with some sites.

For all you moms out there that hate the word suck, buy the book anyway. This girl writes in a way that makes sense to kids, she is writting in there language and it makes a lot of sense to them. She is sometimes humorous the way she explains math but it speaks to the kids. And when it comes down to it, if the wording isn't exactly what we as parents like but it gets the point across to the kids, then great.

As a Mom of two aspiring girls this book was well worth EVERY penny. Consider it an investment in your girls math education. Heck, even consider it an investment in America. We need STRONG math skills for all students in this country. We are so excited that she has a second book that we are going to buy that one too! It teaches Pre-Algebra. All my kids are excited. Can you believe that? They are excited now over math! Thank you Danica for such a great book on Math that kids understand and LOVE!
