Kiss My Math: Showing Pre-Algebra Who's Boss Cover

 

Synopses & Reviews

Publisher Comments:

From the author of the runaway bestseller Math Doesn't Suck, the next step in the math curriculum — pre-Algebra.

Last year, actress and math genius Danica McKellar made waves nationwide, challenging the math nerd stereotype and giving girls the tools to ace tests and homework in her unique just-us-girls style. Now, in Kiss My Math, McKellar empowers a new crop of girls — 7th to 9th graders taking on the next level of mathematics: pre-Algebra.

Stepping up not only the math, but also the sass and style, Kiss My Math will help math-phobic teenagers everywhere chill out about math, and finally get negative numbers, variables, absolute values, exponents, and more. Each chapter features:

Step-by-step instruction

Time-saving tips and tricks

Illuminating practice problems with detailed solutions

Real-world examples

True stories from Danica's own life as a student and actress

Kiss My Math also includes more fun extras — including personality quizzes, reader polls, and real-life testimonials — ultimately revealing why pre-Algebra is easier, more relevant, and more glamorous than girls think.
