Teaching Math via “The Innovative Dr. Knowledge” Comic Book
We are entering a new global economy…one in which our children will need to compete with other children around the world. In this digital age of massive distractions, such as video games and television, we have a lot of competing media for our children’s attention. To many children math is complicated and boring and too much like “work”. We needed a way to 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.
Math Comic Strips has just released their flagship item! It is an educational math comic called “The Innovative Dr. Knowledge”. Dr. Knowledge is not a classic “Super Hero”…he is not from another planet and has not been bitten by an insect. Having said this, he does have some incredible math skills. He was able to acquire these skills by doing his math homework and studying other subjects over the years. He is able to utilize these skills by solving some incredible crimes and problems, and our hope is that children around the world will follow his adventures and become motivated to study into this world of 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.
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…
