Mathmetical Themed Comics


This was on a listserv I am on from one of the participants, Ted Panitz, from Cape Cod Community College, today.

For a numbers of years I saved comic strips dealing with math and learning/teaching concepts, problems and conundrums. In particular I was impressed with how much comic strip writers understand about our math anxieties and how you can play with and manipulate math concepts. When I started i thought i would find a few but as you will see there are an incredible number of strips and they still keep coming.


I like to share these with my students to make a point about their attitudes or approaches to learning. I have put them on my web site at: http://tpanitz.jimdo.com/ted-s-clean-jokes-file/comics/

I flipped through some of them and they are pretty good and may assist you in your efforts to teach math to culinary arts and hospitality students.
