I know that summer vacation isn't over yet, but I wanted to blog about math. Math and I have never exactly gotten along... In fact, it will often take my friends and me longer to figure out the check at a restaurant than it took us to eat! The actress (from The Wonder Years) and mathematician Danica McKeller has written a couple books in the hopes of getting girls more comfortable with math. Math Doesn't Suck: How to Survive Middle School Math Without Losing Your Mind or Breaking a Nail came out last year. Given the book's success with teachers and students, she has just released a new one, called Kiss My Math: Showing Pre-Algebra Who's Boss. We just ordered it today for our collection! Have her books helped anybody out there? I'm feeling like I could use a brush-up myself...
