Math Doesn't Suck

by Danica McKellar

Danica McKellar's first math book walks through middle-school basics: fractions, decimals, percents, ratios and rates. Each chapter has clear steps, worked examples, quizzes and real-life stories.

Why it's useful

Grade 6 is when fractions, decimals and ratios come together. This book helps students feel confident with all three.

  • Clear, friendly steps. Each skill is broken into small pieces with examples.
  • Ratios and rates. Core grade 6 topics explained with everyday situations.
  • Mindset. The stories show that struggling with math is normal and can be beaten.

Try it in class or at home

  1. Chapter as review. Assign the chapter that matches what the class is learning.
  2. Explain it to a friend. Students write a short how-to for one skill in their own words.
  3. Real-life rates. Compare prices per ounce at the grocery store.
