Operation Comics #5: Wonderkid! The Origins of Wonderguy
Operation Comics began as a grant-funded project to develop a unique format for presenting grade-appropriate mathematics, as determined by NCTM standards, to students in grades 4 through 6. The comics, in print form, have been piloted at Cumberland Trace Elementary in Bowling Green, Kentucky, since January 2009.
The stories involve the adventures of Wonderguy, a strongman superhero who goes about doing good deeds, with the assistance of two very intelligent elementary school students, Claire and Dillon. In this fifth issue, Wonderguy shares some clues with Claire and Dillon, and his secretary (foreshadowing), about how he came to be so strong. He also tells them about the first crime he ever stopped, as only a very young boy.
In this issue, the mathematical concepts of simple probability and the probability of multiple independent events are discussed. Also, the science topics of genetics and Punnett squares are addressed, and even a bit of physics is discussed. A sample from the comic, a teacher supplement, and worksheets for the comic are available free at works.bepress.com/bruce_kessler/.
Please note that, although the comics are formatted for correct display for the NOOK, NOOKcolor, and both PC and Mac reader applications, the comics do not display correctly on the NOOK application for the iPhone. For best results with the NOOK and NOOKcolor, set Publisher Defaults to OFF, and adjust the margins if the comic should run off the side of your NOOK's page.
