- Kiss My Math
This may be the best math resource for the new 7th grader that is on the shelf today. Our son started 7th grade pre-algebra this year and, while he is an A student in other subjects, this brought him (and us) to our knees. Danica's book has been able to make every chapter in the school text book capable of being understood. Danica has some funny ways she gets the kids to humanize some of the more technical aspects of math, making the concept easier to relate to and to remember. Our son just ... Read More
Rating: - why does a celebrated actree write math books?
Danica McKellar is a beautiful actress who is probably very well off and successful. So why did she go to UCLA to study math after being a very successful child star on the wonder years and then bother to write a book entitled Math Doesn't Suck. Well it is because she wanted to prove she was more than just a good looking actress. She had a brain and could handle math. The attitude that math is not for the ladies was a horrible prejudice in my high school years and even in this enlightened age ... Read More
Rating: - Great Help
I bought Ms. McKellar's first book to help my grand daughter in 4th grade when she began to struggle with some of the math concepts being presented in school. She was able to get a handle on the work by using that book. She started middle school this year and wasn't able to find some of the math they were now doing in the first book. Luckily, I heard about this second book and sent it along. My grand daughter has found the help she needed in this second book and even takes it to school with her. ... Read More
Rating: - Danica Rocks!
This book explains math in a way that is easy for young girls (and boys) to get a more thorough understanding of Algebra. It builds off of the fundamentals learned in her first book. My daughter loves it and I do, too! Danica, you rock!!!
Rating: - Superb book for teenage girls!
My 13-yr-old daughter struggles with math and doesn't apply herself. With this book, she enjoys learning and it sticks with her. Great job, Danica!
