教育工作者越来越强调帮助学生提高推理、思考和沟通技能的重要性[1,5,6]。美国国家科学委员会大学前教育委员会认为，教育的“基础”必须超越阅读、写作和算术，还必须包括沟通、更高水平的问题解决能力以及科技素养。在数学领域，课堂的愿景正在出现，学生花费大量时间解决复杂、有意义的问题，进行调查，讨论发现，并反思他们的工作[4]。虽然这一愿景相当吸引人，但教育工作者面临的主要挑战是创造为这种智力参与提供机会的环境。 《贾斯珀·伍德伯里历险记》试图通过为数学思维和解决现实世界问题提供丰富的背景来帮助应对这一挑战。考虑以下课堂场景：
E ducators have increasingly emphasized the importance of helping students improve their skills in reasoning, thinking, and communicating [1, 5, 6]. The National Science Board Commission on Pre-college Education contends that the "basics" for education must go beyond reading, writing, and ari thmetic and must include communicat ion, higher-level problem-solving skills, and scientific and technological literacy. In the domain of mathematics, a vision of the classroom is emerging in which students spend substantial amounts of time solving complex, meaningful problems, conduct ing investigations, discussing findings, and reflecting on their work [4]. While this vision is quite appealing, a major challenge for educators is to create situations that provide opportunities for this type of intellectual engagement . The Adventures of Jasper Woodbury is an a t tempt to help meet this challenge by providing rich contexts for mathematical thinking and problem solving about real-world situations. Consider the following classroom scenario:
