Publisher Comments:
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 dropespecially for girlsin 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 smartin fact, it's sexy 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, McKellardubbed a "math superstar" by The New York Timesgives 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). In addition, borrowing from the style of today's teen magazines, it even includes a Math Horoscope section, Math Personality Quizzes, and Real-Life Testimonialsultimately revealing why math is easier and cooler than readers think.

I seen an interview w/ Dancia McKellar randomly as I was flipping through television stations. At first thought, I believed she was an actress and it grabbed my attention. Then I listened to what she has to say and was impressed by her intelligence. I think that it is awesome that she can stand as a role model for young girls to look up to. It is important to learn Math skills at a middle school level. I am the perfect example of everything she talks about. I struggle w/ Math courses constantly, and It all stems from giving up on math early on in school. I am now a Junior in college and continue to have to take math courses over and over just to pass. If Danica continues to encourage girls and help them see that they are smart enough to excel in math, it would be doing a world good.
