A Great Book

I’ve discovered some great books! The first one is Math Doesn’t Suck  by Danica McKellar. It’s aimed squarely at middle school girls and contains wonderful explanations of pre-algebra math concepts. She uses amusing and cute visual analogies without talking down to girls. I just love her monkeys hanging from factor trees. Each chapter stands on its own and can be read and understood independently from the rest of the book. I love it!
