Math Comic Strips Has Just Released “The Innovative Dr. Knowledge”…
Our nation is falling behind in essential math skills. As we enter the brave new world of international commerce, we need a new approach and a different method in order to teach math to children. In this world of heavy distractions, such as television and video games, we are coming up against some heavy competition for our children's time. To many kids math is, well, boring, and too much like work. How can we possibly make learning math fun?
The comic book format is ideal for a number of reasons. For starters, the humble comic book has stood the "test of time". Before the 24 hour cartoon network was even thought of, children would huddle, under their blankets, late at night, comic and flashlight in hand, and read about their favorite "hero". Comic books are an ideal visual learning tool, very portable, requiring no additional attachments or electricity, or even an internet connection.
We have come across just the comic...an educational math comic featuring "The Innovative Dr. Knowledge". Now Dr. Knowledge is not a "Super Hero" in the sense that he is from another planet or has been bitten by an insect or something. He's a regular guy. His "superior abilities" (if we can call them that) comes from his hard work at studying math and other subjects over the years. With these "powers" he is able to solve some fantastic crimes and problems. We are hoping that as children read and follow his adventures, they will become enchanted by the world of math, and motivated to do their own math homework in the process.
When our hero was young, he lost his mother, and had a rather problematic childhood in many respects. While on a trip that his father hoped would encourage and motivate his son, he got shipwrecked on an island. It was on this island that he found his love of math and other subjects. He used this knowledge to solve the various problems that the island threw his way. In many ways, the island showed him practical applications of math.
Years later Bobby found himself back in the "civilized world". It was here that he pursued his love of math, and eventually acquired a PhD in math at a prestigious university. His math skills helped him to acquire great wealth. He also used these skills and abilities to solve some incredible crimes and fantastic problems. Overall, he's been making the world a better place to live in.
Our sincere desire is that you will enjoy reading their comic, "The Innovative Dr. Knowledge". Please join them in helping to promote math education to our nation's children. They are going to need math skills in order to compete for the jobs of the future. Math comic strips may never be the same again...
