Learn at home with help from The Wonder Years/Hallmark actress, math whiz, and New York Times bestselling author Danica McKellar using her acclaimed McKellar Math books! A revolutionary and FUN way for 2nd to 5th graders to memorize multiplication facts outside of the classroom is finally here!

Join Mr. Mouse and Ms. Squirrel and experience an entirely new way of memorizing multiplication facts. Using colorful stories, silly rhymes, and more, Danica McKellar helps to break down the rules of multiplication and to translate many of the (often confusing!) multiplication and division methods taught in today's classrooms. This lively "times" travel adventure is a lifesaver for frustrated kids and parents everywhere and a great way to "zero out" worries about homework and tests.

If Mr. Mouse can learn to have fun with math, anyone can!
"Actor-author McKellar, who has a mathematics degree, uses catchy visuals to teach kids and parents multiplication and division in a way that's more entertaining than memorizing times tables. Colorful illustrations and appealing cartoon graphics, stories, and rhymes explain multidigit multiplication and long division. The text and fun visuals make the book a useful way to teach mathematics to kids and parents alike." —Booklist

"The brilliant-through-simplicity textual explanations are easily accessible to independent readers, and the problem sets are set up for readers to succeed. Multiplies the good times for young mathematicians." —Kirkus Reviews

"Using methods from the Common Core State Standards, the math is described in easy-to-understand pictures and examples. McKellar provides methods for memorizing the times tables, but more importantly, explains in numerous ways why and how multiplication and division work." —School Library Journal

New York Times bestselling author Danica McKellar has helped over one million kids finally "get" math! Best known for her roles on The Wonder Years and The West Wing, Danica is also an internationally recognized mathematician and advocate for math education. A summa cum laude graduate of UCLA with a degree in Mathematics, Danica has been honored in Britain’s esteemed Journal of Physics and The New York Times for her work in mathematics, most notably for her role as co-author of a groundbreaking mathematical physics theorem, which bears her name (The Chayes-McKellar-Winn Theorem.) Her passion for promoting girls’ math education began in 2000, when she was invited to speak before Congress on the importance of women in math and science. Since then, Danica has made it a priority to find time in her busy acting schedule to promote math education, often appearing around the country as a speaker at national mathematics conferences.
