How Do We Teach Mathematics To Children
Here comes the global economy. Unfortunately this brave poses a serious and formidable challenge to the United States. The problem is that our children are just not showing much interest or skills in the areas of math, engineering, science, or technology. As the workers of the baby boomer generation start to retire, we not only need to fill these jobs, but instruct our young people to compete for the global jobs of the future. Could the media of the math comic book be part of the solution to the problem?
As we enter this brave new age, we need brand new media tools. Not just the internet, but other ways to teach math and science to our children. Kids need to be shown that mathematics can be very practical to the hobbies and interests that they have at such a young age. For example, math is very important in calculating the statistics of their favorite sports star. Mathematics principles are also at heart in the world of music. If our children learn that mathematics is not only practical, but fun, they will be more likely to choose a profession in it in when they get older.
How about math comics? Could this be considered to be a “media” tool? In some ways perhaps. While it’s true that comics have been around for years , they have mostly been used to entertain, not educate. We’ve all read a comic about a superhero, or a talking duck, or young love. How many times have we read a comic that taught us mathematics? I don’t remember ever doing this as a child. Since kids love to read comics, if we can use this format to teach them math and science, we will all win. They will be entertained and educated, and we will help set our kids on a course that is good for the nation’s future.
