POINTERS FOR PARENTS Algebra Made Fun

(NAPSI)-There's good news for those who find algebra intimidating. A new book is designed to help the reader master that particular branch of math by taking a lighthearted approach that is said to open the door to math success. By using a combination of personality quizzes, real-life testimonials and step-by-step lessons, author, actress and advocate for math education Danica McKellar presents a number of lessons, all with the purpose of helping the reader--teenage girls in particular--master this branch of math. She explains the mystery behind square roots, polynomials, quadratic equations, word problems and more. The book--"Hot X: Algebra Exposed"--follows McKellar's two previous books on math, "Math Doesn't Suck" and "Kiss My Math." She is also known for her role on "The Wonder Years" and "The West Wing." Her work as a math advocate has been recognized in Newsweek and USA Today and on "Good Morning America," "Today" and NPR's "Science Friday." The book is published by Hudson Street Press and is available online and where books are sold. For more information, go to www.danicamckellar.com.
