Math Comic Strips Flagship Item: “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?
How about the vehicle of a comic book? For starters, comic books have stood the test of time. Long before the digital age of the 24 hour cartoon network, children would be huddled under their blankets, with comic book and flashlight in hand. A very visual learning tool, it is also portable, requiring no electricity or attachments or even, strange as it may sound these days, an internet connection.
The web site: www.math-comic-strips.com has just released their flagship item, an educational math comic called “The Innovative Dr. Knowledge”. While Dr. Knowledge is not a “Super Hero” in the classic sense of the word (he has not been bitten by an insect or arrived from another planet), he does possess some incredible math skills. He was able to acquire these skills by doing his math homework and studying other subjects as well. He is able to utilize these abilities to solve some incredible crimes and problems. Our hope is that children will become enchanted with his adventures and have their own desire to study math.
When Bobby was a young boy, he lost his mother. He was bullied at school and had a rather difficult childhood in many respects. His father decided that he would take his son on a trip to try to encourage and motivate him. As fate would have it, Bobby ended up on an island, by himself. He had to learn how to fend for himself, and it was on this island that he found he had a love for math. He needed these math skills to resolve all the problems that the island was going to throw his way.
When he eventually made his way back to civilization, he pursued his math education on a more formal level eventually earning a PhD in Mathematics at a prestigious university. Using his math abilities he was able to acquire great wealth, and answer a calling in his life…to use math to solve crimes and problems and make the world a better place.
We hope that you will enjoy reading their flagship comic book, “The Innovative Dr. Knowledge”. We hope that you will join them in helping to promote math to our nation’s children. Who knows, math comic strips may never be the same…
