Jack and the Beanstalk a Mathematical Adventure

$Icon Jacks Math$ Hi, my name is Jack. I know you have all heard of me before, I’m the guy who climbs an enormous beanstalk to retrieve the princess’ amulet. But today I would like to tell you the real story of HOW I was actually able to accomplish such a feat.

My adventure all starts with a simple math question. I know what you’re thinking – how does math have anything to do with my epic adventure? Let me confess to you my secret to confronting and out-smarting a giant; the secret is MATH. I used math to initially buy the beans, I used math to help sort through the giant’s treasure of all sorts of geometric shapes to help me find the amulet, and I used math for just about every major obstacle on my journey.

Join me on my epic math adventure where you can help me avoid being boiled for breakfast or figure out if I will have enough time to make it down the beanstalk before the giant catches me.

Free Printable Resource Pack

Most teachers don’t have an entire class set of iPads, but they usually have access to at least one. I usually give away free a printable game/resource to help the teacher extend the reach and capabilities of their one iPad. This time with “Jack and the Beanstalk” App I’ve decided team up with other great teachers who have volunteered to contribute some awesome resources to help extend the math activities beyond the app. Making for the ultimate resource for a themed Jack and the Beanstalk unit.

Common Core Math Tools K-3 – SPINNERS! by Debbie Bryant

This is a set of Math “Spinners” for any games or skill practice that require generating numbers. Kids use a pencil and a paper clip with the spinner. There is a whole page of instructions/ideas and a whole page of games that can be played with just the spinners. I like these because they are a change up from using dice all the time, and they fit well inside an envelope or file folder game, so you can have a different one for each game if you want. More than just number spinners – number words, clocks, coins, shapes and some blank ones – 42 in all.
