Many teachers use time after the Challenge in the Jasper adventure has been solved to focus students' attention on the mathematics they applied during the excitement of coming up with their solutions. The Jasper context provides a natural anchor for additional mathematical activities and lessons. Teachers may develop their own problems, or have students solve selected analogous problems provided on the laserdisc to help deepen their understanding of the concepts and skills involved in this Jasper adventure, and extension problems to broaden their learning into related subject areas.
