    Kiss My Math Showing Pre Algebra Whos Boss




    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.

    User Ratings and Reviews

    5 Stars 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!!!

    5 Stars 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!

    5 Stars Dad
    I’m reading this book with my 12 year old daughter and it’s as fun as a fiction book. She is learning (and it’s a good review for me). I highly recommend it.

    5 Stars Kiss my Math - The best book for preteens and teens!
    Both of Danica’s books are incredible! My daughter absolutely loves them! She’s always had a hard time with math but with these books it’s amazing how much they help!! If your girl has a hard time with math, don’t wait, just buy these books!:-)

    5 Stars A Must-Read for Kids, Parents, and Teachers
    This book is written in an incredibly easy and fun format that will engage teenagers and provide lots of creative ideas for anyone trying to take the fear and mystery out of algebra. Even the most math phobic person will understand the concepts and probably even discover that math truly is fun. I use it for both my own children and my students. Well worth every penny and so is the companion book “Math Doesn’t Suck”!!
