What is it about?
This research explores experts' perceptions of using mathematical representations in biology comics designed for elementary school students. The study integrates mathematical and biological content through comics to promote early transdisciplinary learning. Experts in biology, mathematics, and comics evaluated the feasibility and educational value of the comics, focusing on their content, graph types, and modifications.

Why is it important?
Many kids struggle with math and biology because these subjects are often taught separately. This project combines them in comics, making learning easier and more enjoyable. It helps kids see how math and biology are connected and prepares them for future learning in STEM fields.
Perspectives
Experts think the comics are a great idea but suggest some changes to make them even better for young learners. They liked the clear connection between the stories and the graphs but suggested simpler designs and more relatable examples. This research is a step forward in making learning math and biology more exciting for children.
