Product ReviewsMath Doesn't Suck : How to Survive Middle School Math Without Losing Your Mind or Breaking a Nail by Danica McKellar (2008, Uk-B Format Paperback)

Math Doesn't Suck

Dislike the title - it put me off for a while. But, "don't judge a book by its cover." A parent mentioned this book to me and said it was given to her
daughter who had some interindividual problems with math - math was not her
best subject. The mom offered to copy a few pages for me. However, I decided
to be a good citizen and purchase this for my use in teaching my fifth grade
class this year. What a gold mine!
Like - This is a very pragmatic book. Teenagers can read it and look at the examples and make their way through their math curriculum. There is also some
good common sense ideas for test taking.
Love - The student whose "uncle" purchased this book for her has done us all a favor. I have used some of the "cheerleading" quotes to encourage my class as they enter the season of test-taking. The student for whom this book was purchased has totally turned around her attitude in math and is generally a better student in class and on the playground! She has an A in math this trimester;)Read full review...

Math Still Sucks But I Don't Hate it As Much!

Great Book- written in a way that makes it interesting and so easy to understand. I'm glad I have a daughter, not a son, in middle school because I'm not so sure my son would love this book as much! It is definitely aimed towards young girls but either way, her explanations & understanding of math makes it easy for anyone to stay interested and grasp. Read full review...

Math Doesn't Suck

I love this book, as the mother/teacher of a homeschooled 7th grader this book provides invaluable information. I have always loved math and algebra always came easy to me but my daughter did not feel the same way. I saw this book in the book store and it looked like something my daughter would actually enjoy. It has personality quizzes and horoscopes. Before bying the book, I got it out of the library. It was so good, we needed to buy it. Danica explains math unlike anything I've ever seen, she even improved the way I think of Math. It is a great book to look back on for reference.Read full review...

math doesn't suck

I bought this book for my grandson who is just starting middle school. He thinks this book will be helpful when some math problems arise that he is not entirely confident of the correct solution. The way the information is presented seems to be in a way that is easily understandable and makes learning more fun.Read full review...

I'm 61 and I haven't used higher math since college...serves as a great refresher if you want to be able to help your grand kids thru some homework assignments.Read full review...
