Kiss my math
Filed under: Books for Kids
Remember Danica McKellar, the young lady better known to millions of fans of the show The Wonder Years as the oh-so sweet Winnie Cooper? Remember how she grew up to be an accomplished mathematician and even has a mathematical physics theorem named after her (The Chayes-McKellar-Winn Theorem)? She also, you might recall, wrote a book for middle school students called Math Doesn't Suck.Well, now she's gone and done it again. McKellar's latest book is called Kiss My Math and covers the subject of pre-algebra with her signature sass and irreverence. The new book, aimed at girls in grades seven through nine, includes time-saving tips and tricks, real-world examples of interest to teens, and even true stories from McKellar's life as a math student and actress.
McKellar's books challenge the notion that math is a guy's world and prove that you can be smart and gorgeous at the same time, something that girls desperately need to hear. I just hope my niece doesn't read ParentDish, because, if she does, she now knows what she's getting for her birthday.
