Jack and the Beanstalk a Mathematical Adventure

Fell short

This is a great idea, but it was waaaaay too short: 10 problems? I would say the level is 2nd or 3rd grade. I do like the reading integration!

Not a good app

Wasted .99 on this app. The app would let my son move on in the game even if he got the answer wrong. So you have to sit with them and check the work on your own. Not good at all.

This is a nice app with math tasks sprinkled throughout the story. Ten pictures, each with multiple sets of text for kids from 5 to 8 years old, although I think the multiplication and division is probably too advanced for the story level. There are no IAPs, ads, or social media links. There is no text highlighting, and some graphics for activities could be improved. Kids will enjoy hearing a classic fairy tale told new with simple math tasks. So much potential, but maybe a bit too ambitious.

Story and math all in one

This is a great app to review a favorite story and math skills all at once. The ability to correct wrong answers is a great reinforcement for the skills being reviewed. The graphics are nice and should be attractive to the player. The math skills involved require the player to be at least 8 years of age.

Fun twist on a fairytale

The kids and I really enjoyed the games and how they incorporated math into a classic fairytale story. Parents do need to supervise, since the math is a little advanced for the younger crowd.

Story plus Math!

Cute and well written story with math skills built into the story. The math skills seem to be on a 2nd to 3rd grade level but with adult help younger kids could work on some the skills as well. A few little tweaks in the app could make this a wonderful app. :)

Good start

I think this app is a good start but has room for improvement. The math incorporated into a story is a great attention grabber for students. Adding various levels and additional problems would be a definite plus along with the option to turn off the narration.

Fun!

Jack and the Beanstalk a Mathmatical Adventure is a fun, great app for young children. As the story unfolds, the child gets to solve math problems that go along with the story. Your child will have fun listening to this story and practicing their math skills.

Story to read with child

Nice to see math incorporated into a well illustrated fairy tale. This would be good for grade 3 and up to review math concepts using manipulatives that relate to the story . It could be used in a classroom or with a parent or tutor as an adult is needed to check the child's work.

Nice App

I like that the app starts as a story. A story is a wonderful way to start the app, it helps the children to become engaged. Once you come to the math problems this app shows every day life situations of buying the beans like going to the supermarket to buy food. Then, this combination goes on throughout the app. It is a perfect mix of content and context. The graphics were appropriate for the story and it was fun for the children to play. One of my favorite parts of this app is that there are no advertisements or In App Purchases to worry about. Jack's Math is a nice twist to a beloved children's story. Using both reading, listening and math skills children can learn, practice and study. This is a great app to use for fun learning. I really likes that the child has the ability to correct wrong answers. This provides flawless learning and makes for a great reinforcement while practicing their skills. With a few minor improvements this app would get five stars! Overall, I like the app!
