 Very Cute September 6, 2008
I bought this book for my daughter who is 12. She loves it. I'm not sure yet what she has learned from it but I can say that I often find her laying on her bed or couch and just reading away. I am interested to see how much it helps her this year in math.

I have written the George Lucas Education Foundation and asked if they would feature Danica and her outstanding resources in their "Pop Quiz" section of Edutopia. More teachers should be made aware of these well written books.
All the Best,

The perfect math book to relearn the basics August 27, 2008

My daughter is starting high school this fall and I just didn't feel she was prepared to handle the math that was coming her way. I searched the internet for math games and instruction but couldn't find much for her age..(most of the games were geared for younger children). A friend let me borrow this book and my daughter and I just ran with this. We did a chapter a day together and they are short and simple enough to get through in about 10 or 15 minutes....and in that short period of daily time my daughter now knows how to add/subtract/multiply/divide fractions and decimals among other things. This is a girl that struggled with math since grade one and in under 15 minutes a day of "easy reading" she can do any problem I give her. The author should become a teacher!
I can't believe it. August 25, 2008

This book is wonderful! I'm using it to teach my daughter math at home. The tips are great! I really wish I had learned them years ago. We are using it in conjunction with a couple of math workbooks, because there are not enough problems in this book to get good repetition. The price makes it a steal. Also, the added stories/notes for girls, makes my daughter like reading her math book.

I think I'm in love with Danica McKellar.
As I type, my 13 year old is not only reading a book (something she is loathe to do), but it is a MATH book and she's giggling and saying "OH! Well, that makes sense!"
7th grade math was HORRIBLE. Absolutely horrible with a horrible teacher. By the time school starts in 3 weeks, my daughter will be through "Math Doesn't Suck" AND "Kiss My Math". She will be CONFIDENT she can tackle 8th grade math. Her confidence has already been boosted.
Where was Danica when *I* was in middle school? Oh. Right. I don't think she had been born yet!
I am simply amazed at how my daughter is absorbed with Danica's lessons.
