How Do We Teach Mathematics To Youngsters
Here comes the global economy. Unfortunately this brave new world 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 teach 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 new tools. Not just the internet, but other ways to teach mathematics and science to our children. Children need to be shown that math 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 hero. Mathematics principles are also at heart in the global world of music. If our kids learn that math 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 “new media” tool? Perhaps in some ways. While it’s true that comics have been around for years , they have mostly been used to entertain. We have all read a comic about a super hero, or a talking duck, or young romance. How many times have we read a comic that taught us math? Since kids love to read comics, if we can use this format to educate 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.
