The New York Times bestseller—from the author of
Math Doesn’t Suck—teaches girls how to kick
pre-algebra butt
In her New York Times
bestselling books, actress and math genius Danica McKellar
shatters the “math nerd” stereotype and gives girls the
tools to ace middle-school math in her unique, just-us-girls
style. Now, in her second book, Kiss My Math,
McKellar empowers a new crop of girls—seventh to ninth
graders—to tackle the next level of mathematics:
pre-algebra.
Stepping up not only the math but the
sass and style, McKellar helps math-phobic teenagers
chill out and finally “get” negative numbers, variables,
absolute values, exponents, and more. As she did so
effectively in Math Doesn’t Suck, McKellar uses
personality quizzes, reader polls, real-life testimonials,
and stories from her own life—in addition to clear
instruction, helpful tips, and practice problems—revealing
why pre-algebra is easier, more relevant, and more glamorous
than girls think. McKellar is clearly reaching her audience:
parents, teachers, and especially girls are asking for more.
