A research project on using comics for teaching mathematics was initiated in one Singapore primary school. One class of Grade 5 (students of age 11-12) students was exposed to comics for mathematics instruction. This paper reports a case study of seven students' perception of the features of the comics instructional package and how these features impacted their learning of mathematics. The students' responses in an interview with the researchers were analysed using Thematic Analysis and presented using the Singapore mathematics curriculum framework. Four main features of the comics instructional package: (1) humour; (2) story narrative; (3) scaffolding provided by the questions; and (4) visuals and four main themes: Increase in (a) enjoyment; (b) understanding; (c) appreciation of real-world applications of mathematics; and (d) participation during lessons; were uncovered. The use of comics could potentially impact positively on developing students' Attitudes, Skills, Concepts and Processes of the Singapore mathematics curriculum framework in learning mathematics.
