From actress and math genius Danica McKellar comes a groundbreaking
middle school math workbook for middle school girls, their parents,
and educators. As the math education crisis in this country
continues to make headlines, research continues to prove that it is
in middle school when math scores begin to drop--especially for
girls--in large part due to the relentless social conditioning that
tells girls they "can't do" math, and that math is "uncool." Young
girls today need strong female role models to embrace the idea that
it's okay to be smart! It's Danica McKellar's mission to be this
role model, and demonstrate on a large scale that math doesn't
suck. In this fun and accessible guide, McKellar--dubbed a "math
superstar" by The New York Times--gives 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 Danica's own
childhood struggles in math (and stardom). It even includes a Math
Horoscope section, Math Personality Quizzes, and Real-Life
Testimonials--ultimately revealing why math is easier and cooler
than readers think.

The "New York Times" bestseller-from the "Dancing With The
Stars" contestant and popular author of "Math Doesn't Suck, ""Hot
X: Algebra Exposed," and "Girls Get Curves"-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 moving up into high school 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.
