Math Doesn't Suck

My daughter's tutor who is a fifth grade teacher borrowed this book from us and took it to his elementary school. His supervisor ordered 5 books for the the school. They felt the language was very appropriate for kids and it had very good tips, ideas, and ways of explaining math so that kids could relate. It was originally recommended to me by my daughter's 7th grade teacher. My daughter has always struggled in math and we look forward to using this book daily.

Great reference--serious home work help

I bought this book when my daughter faced some serious lags in starting the school year--3 days into a new school and 6th grade, and she was out from an appendectomy. I knew we'd have to do some serious instruction at home to keep her up to speed. Because our math text book is so unfriendly, the teacher recommended another reference, but this popped up on the Amazon suggestions. The positive reviews grabbed my interest, and when the book came I found that I actually wanted to read it! It has come in very handy during teary episodes of "I don't know how to do this"--it covers all those topics we once learned, but forgot, and makes it very fast and easy to re-learn (for parents) and learn (for kids). It's fun, engaging, and very helpful. Thanks, Danika!

Math

My daughter loves this book. I love that she loves math. Thanks, Danica!

Bad Title!

I am an elementary school teacher. I love the ideas in theis book, but wonder why the title has to be what it is. I cannot share it with students because I teach them not to use the word suck.

Math Doesn't Suck

Great book. This makes math seem much less intimidating to students AND their teachers.
I bought it to show to my grad students who are going to be teachers. One bought her own copy after borrowing my copy and another student promptly borrowed the returned book.

Editorial Reviews:

From a well-known actress and math geniusâa groundbreaking guide to mathematics 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 dropâespecially for girlsâin large part due to the relentless social conditioning that tells girls they âcanât doâ math, and that math is âuncool.â Young girls today need strong female role models to embrace the idea that itâs okay to be smartâin fact, itâs sexy to be smart!

Itâs Danica McKellarâs mission to be this role model, and demonstrate on a large scale that math doesnât suck. In this fun and accessible guide, McKellarâdubbed a âmath superstarâ by The New York Timesâgives 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 Danicaâs own childhood struggles in math (and stardom). In addition, borrowing from the style of todayâs teen magazines, it even includes a Math Horoscope section, Math Personality Quizzes, and Real-Life Testimonialsâultimately revealing why math is easier and cooler than readers think.
