The New York Times bestsellerβfrom the author of Math Doesnβt Suckβteaches girls how to kick pre-algebra butt
In her New York Times bestselling books, actress and math genius Danica McKellar shatters the βmath nerdβ 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 girlsβseventh to ninth gradersβto 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 βgetβ negative numbers, variables, absolute values, exponents, and more. As she did so effectively in Math Doesnβt Suck, McKellar uses personality quizzes, reader polls, real-life testimonials, and stories from her own lifeβin addition to clear instruction, helpful tips, and practice problemsβrevealing 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.
