My main concern with the condition of mathematics in high school is that theres a lot of fear involved! Math is not, generally speaking, presented in a fun way. The concepts, as I see them, are fun, and thats the way Id like to convey them myself. – Danica McKellar
If anyone tells you its impossible to be fabulous and smart and make a ton of money using math, well, they can just get in line behind you – and kiss your math. – Danica McKellar
I tell students that even if they dont like math right now, they can use math as a brain-sharpening tool – a tool that not only builds the foundation for a great career, but that also builds self-confidence, no matter what they choose to do with their lives. – Danica McKellar
I recognize that I have a unique position to be a role model to young girls because I am doing something that they consider glamorous, which is acting, and yet I took a time to really get my education and study mathematics, and I think math is the cats meow. – Danica McKellar
