How It Works

STORIES CAPTURE OUR IMAGINATION AND ENGAGE OUR CURIOSITY

"Jordan and Jackie Make MATH Fun" is a math-themed story about two kids who open a lemonade stand to raise money to repair their neighborhood basketball hoop.

Book Features:

  1. The story features two children applying math to their everyday lives.

  2. The high-quality board book is resilient to rough play by young children.

  3. Math problems include addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division.

  4. The two main characters decide to use their math skills to solve a community problem.

  5. The book can be read as a standalone story without the app.

"There should be no such thing as boring mathematics."

 

Edsger Dijkstra

Augmented Reality (AR) allows for dynamic, engaging, and interactive experiences.

App features:

  1. The AR turns each page of the book into an interactive experience with touch-activated animations and audio affects.

  2. There are 5 interactive math problems to solve in the app as the story unfolds.

  3. The app allows the reader to make multiple choices for the characters throughout the story.

  4. The interactive math problems are modified every time the book is read with the app,  so it's never the same experience twice.

  5. The app can only be used with the physical book.

AUGMENTED REALITY IS CHANGING THE WAY WE USE TECHNOLOGY

You can demo the interactive experience by downloading the free app and pointing the device at the below sample pages.

Representation in educational curricula can provide validation and support, especially for youth of marginalized groups. We want kids to see characters doing math who look like them and the communities they are from. We also want non-traditional learners to be included in the STEM revolution.

Inclusive Features:

  1. The two main characters of the book, Jordan and Jackie, have 3D avatars seen in the app as the story is read.

  2. The skin tone, hair color, hair style, and outfit of these avatars in the app can be modified by the reader.

  3. The gender representation of Jordan and Jackie can be changed.

  4. One or both characters can be shown wearing glasses or in a wheelchair.

  5. Tactile "hands on" learners can stay engaged through interactive play.

WE ARE LESS WHEN WE DON'T INCLUDE EVERYONE

I read to my daughters every night and let them pick the book. They absolutely love this book, and I love watching them explore with the app and see how addition and subtraction are used.

Paul G. (teacher)

This is such a great learning tool. Kids get to see math being used by other kids. It's awesome!

My 10yo grandson Charlie and I had so much fun with it. It was a great after school activity.
