Math Comic Strips Has Dr. Knowledge Teach Math!
January 23rd, 2010
In this age of the global economy our children will be competing for the best jobs with children from other nations. The problem with this model is that while our kids play video games and watch televsion, the children from other nations are reading books and doing math. How can we teach essential math skills to our children in this brave new age? The web site math comic strips thinks it has the answer, and we would like to review it in this article.
They have just released their flagship item, a comic book entitled “The Innovative Dr. Knowledge”. Now this is not any old comic book…the main purpose of this comic is to help motivate kids to have a heathy respect for math, and to learn to implement it.
Dr. Knowledge used to be a kid…in many ways just like the kids of today. He wasn’t interested in studying or learning. The desire to do math was way down on his “to do” list.
Through a series of adventures he finds himself as a youth trapped on a deserted island. He must learn to read books and do math in order to protect himself, but that is another story.
Eventually he is rescued from the island, and once back on the mainland he learns that he is RICH. How and why we will leave for another article, but suffice it to say that he uses this money to continue his education and pursue his dreams.
Soon he comes to realize that he is called to a greater purpose…to solve problems and crimes on behalf of mankind. This is where his math skills really shine. This comic not only relays a story, but shows the intricate math equations and problems that our hero is forced to solve.
Their desire is to help motivate kids to learn and study math. Won’t you help them in their lofty goal?
